Since updating to Android Studio Chipmunk I am no longer able to generate signed AAB files. I'm not getting any errors, Android Studio just doesn't do anything. I select the menu item "Generate signed package / APK" -> I select Android App Bundle -> I specify the key store (already used successfully in the past) -> then I select the Release option and press the Finish button ... but absolutely nothing happens. Like the build request is ignored. Any idea ?
As per my understanding you have started using new Android Studio Chipmunk and trying to updated your android application (version 1) that was previously developed using Android Studio only; have signed (E.g. with Key store & Key alias) and published to Play Store, now at present you wanted to update or release a new version (called version 2) of previously developed application using new Android Studio Chipmunk and generating new signed build via same Key store & Key alias.
As far as I knew, it is "know issue" with Android Studio Chipmunk. Actually Android Studio Chipmunk does not consider different-different password for both Key store & Key alias. It is only consider same password for Key store & Key alias.
You need to select the right key from the key alias dropdown. While generating the signed build from the Generate Signed build or APK dialog, click on the icon next to the key alias field:
Then select the right key which you had used previously:
click OK and then Next. Select the right Build variant and click the Finish button. You should see the build happening.

this problem was caused because I changed my Mac and having lost the key I had to generate a new one and then with Google assistance we made the new key official.
Previously all the process described here Build and release an Android app worked fine.
The current situation is instead of through the command
flutter build appbundle
the build is signed with another key (I think the debug key) different from the current one as reported by the Play Console during the upload.
The properties in the key.properties file are correct, the path of the new key is correct. I had tried a while ago to clear the cache but nothing to do.
If, on the other hand, I go to open only the 'android' folder fot Flutter project with Android Studio, and I make the build through Build menu the build is signed with the new key, the correct one.
I have Android Studio 4.1.2 and no matter which project I try to generate a bundle for, when I select "release" and then finish, nothing happens anymore.
I've had this problem before and I had to manually generate and sign my APKs. Now the problem is back again.

The release builds are signed using your private key. You can start with configuring your keystore, which will contain the K-V pair.
Refer : Setting up key
Then you can try generating the apk using that signed key.
Refer: Generate signed APK
If you are facing some specific error, can you share that.
How do I make release version of apk in android studio 3.01?
Do I need to do in gradle?
Thanks.
Go to the Build menu and select Generate Signed APK. This will bring up a wizard for you to use to generate a singed APK file.
You'll need to generate a key and keystore to sign your app. The Android documentation is quite good, I'd suggest reading this for detailed instructions.
In Android Studio
Build -> Generate Signed APK -> Fill all the details in the dialog shown (In the KeyStore Path field, Click on Create New if you are creating for the first time)
-> After filling the details click on Next and in the next window click on Finish.
After some time a popup will appear on the bottom right and from there you can locate your Release Version Apk
In Android Studio, There is two ways of generating APK's - i.e Debug build Apk and Release Build Apk.
Now Question is how to generate TWO kind of Apk's?
This Question is helpfull to Freshers Android Developers.
Thanks

I have a app which I released many years ago on the market. It was originally done in Eclipse. Now i am making a new version of the app in Android studio. I still have the original key and password it was signed with.
Can i update the already published app made in eclipse with the new one im making in Android studio, as long as i use the same key it was signed with?
Thanks

Yes, you can.
Refer the documentation here.
If your app used a debug certificate in Eclipse ADT, Android Studio
continues to reference that certificate. Otherwise, the debug
configuration uses the Android Studio generated debug keystore, with a
known password and a default key with a known password located in
$HOME/.android/debug.keystore. The debug build type is set to use this
debug SigningConfig automatically when you run or debug your project
from Android Studio.
In release mode, Android Studio applies the release certificate used
in Eclipse ADT. If no release certificate was located during the
import process, add the release signing configuration to the
build.gradle file or use the Build > Generate Signed APK menu option
to open the Generate Signed APK Wizard. For more information about
signing your app, see Signing Your Applications.
Yup, you need to use the same key and the same package name.
