This happens if I build using terminal, but if I use Android Studio build aab then it works and can produce reschiper-app.aab is it normal?

[goldfish07]

have you specified signingConfigs in app/build.gradle ?

android {
.....

 signingConfigs {
        release {
            storeFile file(System.getenv("HOME") + "/keystore.jks")
            keyAlias 'keystore'
            keyPassword 'keystore'
            storePassword 'keystore'
        }
    }

}

check implementation from Reschiper-sample https://github.com/goldfish07/ResChiper-sample/blob/8a9d70da85a665fd6765dcbc962f2f62c7f2dfe1/app/build.gradle

[saleho27]

Yes I have set it. If I do not use reschiper, it can be built using terminal using command bundleRelease...

In another project, AGP 8.4.0 gradle 8.6 also failed, but if AGP 8.3.2 gradle 8.4 it works...

In your sample, release using minify=false, I use minify=true for release, btw this error just happens in AGP 8.4.0 and gradle 8.6, previously it works very well... (AGP 8.3.2 dna gradle 8.4) in both project

[goldfish07]

AGP 8.4.0, along with Project Gradle Wrapper 8.7, works fine for my projects. For command line builds, I use Gradle 8.7, and it doesn't matter whether minify is set to true or false.

What Android Studio version do you use? I use the latest, Jellyfish | 2023.3.1
