I am trying to test out LibGDX development, and I am getting an error trying to get even the most basic app to run on my android phone, because there is some problem with my keystore or in how it's being used, and I'm not sure exactly what that problem is.
Before, describing the problem in further detail and what I've tried, I will first describe some things about my environment:
I am using:
- `Android Studio 3.1.4,` with
- `Gradle 4.6` inside of it, my os is
- `Linux Mint 18.1 (Serena) (which is based on...
- `Ubuntu 16.04`, my kernel is
- `Linux 4.4.0-53-generic`.
In trying to solve this problem, I have generated a new keypass many times, sometimes using the command line, and sometimes through Android Studio's "Build" -> "Generate Signed APK" -> "Create New..." option.
The latest one I have generated was using that "Build" -> "Generate Signed SPK" -> "Create New..." option
Then after a lot of struggle, I eventually realized that I had to add my keystore to my gradle file, which was the first thing I was doing wrong, and I eventually stumbled upon the "File" -> "Project Structure" -> "android" -> "Signing" option, clicked the Green "+" sign and filled out a Name, the "Key Alias", "Key Password", "Store File" and "Store Password", making sure that they matched the latest keypass I had created.
after creating the signing, I selected it, and clicked "OK" and then saw that indeed in my gradle file, that was added to my gradle android module
I re-synced the gradle file with my app, and then cleaned my app.
But, when I attempted to rebuild my app, or run it and click on the option for running it through my plugged in Android Phone, I get the error message:
Cause: failed to decrypt safe contents entry: javax.crypto.BadPaddingException: Given final block not properly padded
I had done some research in trying to fix this, and one possibility was that I was using the wrong passwords, but I have since been careful to make sure that I used the right passwords, and that did not fix it.
Another possibility I found after doing some research, was that there are certain rules for the passwords for the keystore, and I think not using special characters was one of the them, so I made sure I followed that rule.
But I also know there are 2 different passwords, maybe they have different rules, but I'm not sure that's my problem, I think it's something else.
I would very much appreciate help in fixing this signing issue, thank you very much.
Edit: I am going to add some of my gradle file contents:

Well, I found the problem, I was just missing one extra step, I had to go "Build Types" under "Project Properties"->Modules: android, and select the keystore, I thought I had already selected, by highlighting it under Signing.
