Android App Bundle not generating in Android Studio

Issue

I am trying to publish my Ionic Angular app to the Google Play Store via Android Studio, but I'm having trouble generating the Android App Bundle.

When I open the app in Android Studio, I go to Build > Generate Signed Bundle / APK

The below 3 screenshots show the values I've entered.

Screen One:

Screen Two:

Screen Three:

But when I click Finish, no prompts, error messages, etc. display to say whether or not the bundle was created.

When I go to android/app, there's no release folder appearing.

Can someone please tell me why no error message is appearing if the folder isn't being created?

Solution

I had exactly the same problem (it looks like yet another Android Studio bug).

I solved it by:

• deleting the release folder

• creating a NEW KeyStore and NEW Key

Then it worked fine!
