Android Studio doesn't generate bundle

Question

I've been trying to build a new version of my app bundle and it won't build it with the same key. I click on Build>Generate Signed Bundle or APK...>select Android App Bundle>click Next, then I select my key, I put the same key store password, the same key alias, check for the key store path twice just in case, click on Next>select release>Finish and nothing happens. I don't get an error or any kind of prompt, just nothing.

How do I fix this?

edit: I found the answer, the alias wasn't the same, Android Studio won't even try to build a new version if the key alias is different

Answer 1

Had to uncheck the "Export Encrypted key...." option.
