An error occurred building visual studio cordova app using multi-device-hybrid-apps only in Release and Distribution configuration

I am developing a mobile app using Cordova by multi-device-hybrid-apps in Visual Studio 2013, Everything is fine on Debug configuration, the app will compile correctly and is installed on the device. But when I try to compile and deploy via Release or Distribution configuration it will give me this error

Error code 1 for command: cmd with args: /s,/c,ant,release,-f,d:\PhoneGap\projects\MyWeddingCard\MyWeddingCard\bld\Distribution\platforms\android\build.xml,-Dout.dir=ant-build,-Dgen.absolute.dir=ant-gen

I know this a general error but is there any way to undrestand what is the problem.

p.s I have created Keystore file and added to ant.properties file.

Solution

  • I found the problem I changed keystore file path in ant properties from

    key.store=D:\PhoneGap\projects\MyWeddingCard\Key\MyWeddingCardKeystore.keystore

    to

    key.store=D:\\PhoneGap\\projects\\MyWeddingCard\\Key\\MyWeddingCardKeystore.keystore
