Unable to generate keystore and release cocos2dx project

Question

I tried to generate the keystore however, Seems like it's not working. I'm not used to create the apk and release via terminal. So if I may be doing something wrong, it would be great if you can tell me some hints or samples.

My location of the project

/Users/myself/Desktop/CocoFolder/MyGame

Tried the following code. But not sure what to enter.

keytool -genkey -v -keystore /Users/myself/Desktop/CocoFolder/MyGame
 -alias MyGame -validity 10000

Planning to use this to create a release apk.

cocos run -s/Users/myself/Desktop/CocoFolder/MyGame -p android –android-studio -m release

Two questions :

1. How I generate keystore that required to sign your apk

   How can I create a keystore?

2. Done you've now your keystore with specified alias name, Now you want to generate signed apk from your keystore.

   Put this into~/.gradle/gradle.properties

   RELEASE_STORE_FILE={path to your keystore}
   RELEASE_STORE_PASSWORD=*****
   RELEASE_KEY_ALIAS=*****
   RELEASE_KEY_PASSWORD=*****
   

   After that, Build --> Select Build Variant --> Set release for your game and build.
