Confused with the android release process - where is my keystore?

I am trying to find my keystore as I need to create a release API key for google maps and I need it for the certificate, except I dont know where my keystore is.

I am using a MacBook Pro with the latest OS.

Any help would be appreciated

In Android Studio for Windows, just follow these steps:

1) Build > Generate Signed APK

2) "Create New...", choose a destination for the new .jks file, then enter all the data

3) Follow prompts, choose the destination for your new signed .apk, and you're finished

The steps for Mac are very similar, except for the paths.

You're meant to generate it yourself, either within your IDE (If you're using Eclipse or Android Studio, the tools are already there).

But if you want to do it manually or your IDE doesn't have the ability to generate keystores, then you could follow the official docs to generating a keystore.
