I suffered alot trying to find a solution to it and finally I found the solution by first setting the jre path to system variables by navigating to::

control panel > System and Security > System > Advanced system settings

Under System variables click on new

Variable name: KEY_PATH
Variable value: C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_171\bin

Where Variable value should be the path to your JDK's bin folder.

Then open command prompt and Change directory to the same JDK's bin folder like this

C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_171\bin

then copy and paste the code below in cmd

keytool -list -v -keystore "C:\Users\user\.android\debug.keystore" -alias androiddebugkey -storepass android -keypass android

Check that the directory the keytool executable is in is on your  PATH  environment variable   For example  on my Windows 7 machine  it is in  C  Program Files  x86  Java jre6 bin  and my  PATH  variable looks like C  Program Files  x86  Common Files Oracle Java javapath C  Program Files  x86  Java jre6 bin C  WINDOWS System32 WindowsPowerShell v1 0   and many other entries

The keytool command might not be in your path   it   s part of Java  which is installed as part of Android Studio  For the concrete path  run flutter doctor -v and locate the path printed after    Java binary at      Then use that fully qualified path replacing java  at the end  with keytool  If your path includes space-separated names  such as Program Files  use platform-appropriate notation for the names  For example  on Mac Linux use Program  Files  and on Windows use  Program Files

Open  Environment Variables   you can get to it from your start menu search in Win10  double check the path that the jdk is in  to make sure it exists  For me  it said     jdk1 8 bin  But when I copied that into Windows Explorer or command prompt  it said that it didn t exist  I checked where it should have been  and it said  jdk1 8 0 77      A simple rename of the setting in Android Studio and keytool was working
