1. Create /android/key.properties

keyAlias=upload
keyPassword=####
storePassword=####
storeFile=../app/upload-keystore.jks

2. Generate /android/app/upload-keystore.jks

Using Terminal

keytool -genkey -v -keystore ./android/app/upload-keystore.jks -storetype JKS -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000 -alias upload

Note

• If keytool Not Found, Install Java JDK.
• Use The Same Password Used in key.properties: ####
• The -storetype JKS tag is only required for Java 9 or newer. As of the Java 9 release, the keystore type defaults to PKS12.

Tip

To Convert From JKS → PKCS12

keytool -importkeystore -srckeystore keystore.jks -destkeystore keystore.jks -deststoretype pkcs12

To Convert From PKCS12 → JKS

keytool -importkeystore -srckeystore keystore.jks -destkeystore keystore.jks -deststoretype jks

3. Configure /android/app/build.gradle

def keystoreProperties = new Properties()
def keystorePropertiesFile = rootProject.file('key.properties')
if (keystorePropertiesFile.exists()) {
    keystoreProperties.load(new FileInputStream(keystorePropertiesFile))
}

android {
  ...

  signingConfigs {
      release {
          keyAlias keystoreProperties['keyAlias']
          keyPassword keystoreProperties['keyPassword']
          storePassword keystoreProperties['storePassword']
          storeFile keystoreProperties['storeFile'] ? file(keystoreProperties['storeFile']) : null
      }
  }
  buildTypes {
      release {
        // TODO: Add your own signing config for the release build.
        // Signing with the debug keys for now, so `flutter run --release` works.
        // signingConfig signingConfigs.debug
        signingConfig signingConfigs.release
      }
  }

}

Note

You might need to run flutter clean after changing the gradle file. This prevents cached builds from affecting the signing process.
