Failed to seal APK, Visual Studio won't build apk

Hei guys,

while trying to build an signed apk in my visual studio i ran in some errors:

BUILD FAILED

Total time: 2.284 secs

1>MSBUILD : cordova-build error : FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
1>MSBUILD : cordova-build error : * What went wrong:

I created my keystore file like descriped in here: http://taco.visualstudio.com/en-us/docs/tutorial-package-publish-readme/

And i also edited my build.json like so:

{
     "android": {
        "release": {
            "alias": "myname",
            "keystore": "C:\\mykey.keystore",
            "keystoreType": "",
            "password": "key",
            "storePassword": "key"
        }
     }
 }

My ant.properties look like this:

key.store=C:\\mykey.keystore
key.alias=myname
key.store.password=key
key.alias.password=key

Do you guys have any suggestions?

I found the solution you just have to increase the key size 2048 to 4096 

keytool -genkey -v -keystore c:\my-release-key.keystore -alias ABC -keyalg RSA -keysize 4096 -validity 100000

Just go to the cordova directory and type 

cordova build -release android

this one worked for me.
