When I try to follow the docs in https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/signed-apk-android.html to generate the apk file for a react-native app,I got the error described in the title above. I have already checked to make sure that the alias and password of my keystore are correct, so I'm not sure what the problem is. I have also made sure that I entered all the information required when generating the keystore.
Below is the stacktrace of the output I get from running the command gradlew assembleRelease inside the android directory.
:app:packageRelease (Thread[main,5,main]) started.
:app:packageRelease
Executing task ':app:packageRelease' (up-to-date check took 0.092 secs) due to:
No history is available.
All input files are considered out-of-date for incremental task ':app:packageRel
ease'.
:app:packageRelease FAILED
:app:packageRelease (Thread[main,5,main]) completed. Took 0.151 secs.
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:packageRelease'.
> Failed to read key from keystore
* Try:
Run with --debug option to get more log output.
