A simple solution of error is that you first need to change the folder directory in command prompt. By default in command prompt or in terminal(Inside Android studio in the bottom)tab the path is set to C:\Users#Name of your PC that you selected\AndroidStudioProjects#app name\flutter_app> Change accordingly:- C:\Users#Name of your PC that you selected\AndroidStudioProjects#app name\flutter_app>cd\

type cd (#after flutter_app>), type only cd\ not comma's

then type cd Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_251\bin (#remember to check the file name of jre properly)

now type keytool -list -v -keystore "%USERPROFILE%.android\debug.keystore" -alias androiddebugkey -storepass android -keypass android (without anyspace type the command).

I know there are already several answers but none of them worked for me  so i am posting one that worked for me  may be helpful for someone   First of all directory to keytool exe must be on path  and if instead of directory being on path it is giving error then Try starting command line as a normal user instead of as a administrator or changing the directory to home directory

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
