You can specify your own debug keystore if you wish   This solution also gives you the ability to store your keys outside of the project directory as well as enjoy automation in the signing process  Yes you can go to File - gt  Project Structure and assign signing keystores and passwords in the Signing tab but that will put plaintext entries into your gradle build file which means your secrets might be disclosed  especially in repository commits    With this solution you get the control of using your own keystore and the magic of automation during debug and release builds   1  Create a gradle properties  if you don t already have one    The location for this file depends on your OS       home  lt username gt   gradle   Linux      Users  lt username gt   gradle   Mac     C  Users  lt username gt   gradle  Windows    2  Add an entry pointing to yourprojectname properties file    example for Windows   yourprojectname properties c   Users   lt username gt   signing  yourprojectname properties   3  Create yourprojectname properties file in the location you specified in Step 2 with the following information   keystore C   path  to  keystore  yourapps keystore keystore password your secret password   4  Modify your gradle build file to point to yourprojectname properties file to use the variables   if project hasProperty  yourprojectname properties            amp  amp  new File project property  yourprojectname properties    exists           Properties props   new Properties       props load new FileInputStream file project property  yourprojectname properties           android           signingConfigs               release                   keyAlias  release                  keyPassword props  keystore password                   storeFile file props  keystore                    storePassword props  keystore password                             debug                   keyAlias  debug                  keyPassword props  keystore password                   storeFile file props  keystore                    storePassword props  keystore password                                   compileSdkVersion 19         buildToolsVersion  20 0 0          defaultConfig               applicationId  your project app              minSdkVersion 16             targetSdkVersion 17                   buildTypes               release                                     dependencies               5  Enjoy   Now all of your keys will be outside of the root of the directory and yet you still have the joys of automation for each build     If you get an error in your gradle build file about the  props  variable it s because you are not executing the  android     block inside the very first if condition where the props variable gets assigned so just move the entire android        section into the condition in which the props variable is assigned then try again   I pieced these steps together from the information found here and here
