In the menu bar, click Build > Generate Signed Bundle/APK. In the Generate Signed Bundle or APK dialog, select Android App Bundle or APK and click Next. Below the field for Key store path, click Create new. On the New Key Store window, provide the following information for your keystore and key, as shown in figure 2.
In Android, an apk should be signed with its developer's certificate before installed, while those without valid signatures cannot be installed.
Every application that is run on the Android platform must be signed by the developer. Applications that attempt to install without being signed will be rejected by either Google Play or the package installer on the Android device.
Android apps are signed with a private key. To ensure that app updates are trustworthy, every private key has an associated public certificate that devices and services use to verify that the app update is from the same source. Devices only accept updates when its signature matches the installed app's signature.
If you are using the Eclipse plugin.
Right click on the project > Android Tools > Export Signed Application Package
Follow the instructions for creating a .keystore file and you're sorted!
