I have just changed my laptop and I opened the repo in which I was working. The problem is that I can't create a new Activity or a new Fragment because when I try to do so nothing happens. Nothing changes and nothing is created, but I don't get any error. I tried also to open this repo in a Linux PC within the command prompt and I discovered that when I create a new Activity the following logs appear in the console:

I don't understand what is the correlation between a new activity and the keystore, but I tried even to create a new one but the error keeps appearing. The password is 100% correct. I don't know what to do. I can create new activities only on my old PC. The other coworkers seems to be fine with the same repo I use. I tried of course the common way to fix Android Studio like reboot, invalidate cache, clean, uninstall, etc... Thanks for your help.
EDIT
I figured out that this happens only when updating to Android Studio 4.0
EDIT 2
I think you have configuration debug signingConfigs
signingConfigs {
debug {
storeFile file('...')
storePassword "..."
keyAlias "..."
keyPassword "..."
}
}
1.delete debug signingConfigs
2.delete .idea and .gradle folders
3.rebuild project
I think this can solve your problem
