Jarsigner can't sign .apk but displays no errors

I'm trying to update an old app that I, sincerely, don't remember if it was signed using command line or Android Studio or whatever.

Now I have an unsigned apk named "android-release-unsigned.apk" but when I run the command: jarsigner -verbose -sigalg SHA1withRSA -digestalg SHA1 -keystore /Users/MyUser/Desktop/nameofmyapp.jks platforms/android/build/outputs/apk/android-release-unsigned.apk "my_alias" and enter my password it begins the process of generate the unialigned apk, even appears a file named android-release-unsigned.apk.sig, then this file disappears and nothing more happens.

The terminal show no errors and ends with jar signed. so I'm absolutely lost.

Im working on a Mac, but I tried on Windows and the result is the same.

I don't know if it matters but I renamed my .jks file to myapp.jks, also, the code of the app is completely new because I started it like a new project.

Well, this is SO embarrassing.

For some reason, I was expecting that the jarsigner command generates a file named android-release-unaligned.apk, and then apply the zipalign command to it.

Probably nobody will never do this dumb mistake, but just in case: just align that *-release-unsigned.apk!
