Answer 1

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':launcher:packageRelease'.
> A failure occurred while executing com.android.build.gradle.internal.tasks.Workers$ActionFacade
   > com.android.ide.common.signing.KeytoolException: Failed to read key AndroidDebugKey from store "C:\Users\Samprit Hazra\.android\debug.keystore": Invalid keystore format

Failed to read key AndroidDebugKey from store "C:\Users\Samprit Hazra.android\debug.keystore": Invalid keystore format

You might want to take a look to your file using http://keystore-explorer.org/ and see if something is wrong with it.

Answer 2

I needed to create a custom Keystore.
