While attempting to build my project for the Play Store for android, I ran into an issue while building

I tried to run fuse build --target=Android --configuration=Release -v, but it gave me this message "fuse: Errors were encountered while building the project

`BUILD FAILED C:\Users\Garrett\AppData\Local\Fusetools\Fuse\Android\AndroidSDK\tools\ant\build.xml:1139: The following error occured while executing this line: C:\Users\Garrett\AppData\Local\Fusetools\Fuse\Android\AndroidSDK\tools\ant\build.xml:1151: C:\Users\Garrett\Desktop\Fuse Tools\VCNotifications3\relase.keystore (The system cannot find the specified)`

This is what confuses me since im specifically following the directions for signing the app for android. Any advice?

Did you sign your app?. You have to create .keystore and sign your app.

Thanks Tom! The issue was that while I was making my keystore without cmd being ran as administrator. Now that the keystore is in the right place, thanks 🙂
