Answer 1

If you add lines of the following form to your build.properties file (SDK pre 14) or ant.properties file (SDK 14 and beyond)

Then the if you call 'ant release' the signing with the correct passwords will be automatically done for you

(Assuming your release keystore is at : c:/users/you/my-release-key.keystore and your release key's alias is : your_release_alias)

key.store=c:/users/you/my-release-key.keystore
key.alias=your_release_alias
key.store.password=YourKeystorePassword
key.alias.password=YourKeyaliasPassword
