Nativescript failed on build release apk success on debug.apk

I tried to build Nativescript --release on android but failed. This is debug result:

* What went wrong:
A problem was found with the configuration of task ':packageF0F1F2Release'.

> File 'D:\NativeScript\key' specified for property 'signingConfig.storeFile' is not a file.

I cant find any guide to resolve this using nativescript with CLI. I can build using android studio but I prefer to use CLI. I followed this Command with nativescript v 2.52 , tns-core-module 2.51 and tns-android 2.50

┌─────────┬───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐

│ General │ $ tns build android [--compileSdk <API Level>] [--key-store-path <File Path> --key-store-password <Password> --key    │

└─────────┴───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

There is no problem when building debug.apk on emulator. Thank you.

Creating Release build require 2 steps :

  1. Create keystore file for release

  2. Generate release build with the help of keystore

Create keystore file for release

keytool -genkey -v -keystore file/location/where/you/want/to/save/appkeystore_ks.jks -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000 -alias YourApplicatioNameAlias

Ref : https://developer.android.com/studio/publish/app-signing.html#signing-manually

Generate release build with the help of keystore

tns build android --release --key-store-path /keystore/file/location/appkeystore_ks.jks --key-store-password thepassword --key-store-alias YourApplicatioNameAlias --key-store-alias-password thepassword

Ref : https://docs.nativescript.org/publishing/publishing-android-apps
