I want to sign my apk in the **Gradle Runner** step in order to publish it to Crashlytics. I uploaded my **.jks** file to the **Code Signing** section in the **Workflow** editor.

My signingConfig is:

> signingConfigs {  
> mySigningConfig{  
> keyAlias ‘[HARDCODED\_STRING]’  
> keyPassword ‘[HARDCODED\_STRING]’  
> storeFile file(System.getenv(“HOME”) + “/keystores/mysigningfile.jks”)  
> storePassword ‘[HARDCODED\_STRING]’  
> }  
> }

But the build fails with this message:

 ![Captureeee](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/bitrise/original/2X/1/106443402e90e780f97a0c2d4395728e41bbf336.PNG)

What i’m doing wrong?  
How can i refer inside my build.gradle to the .jks file i uploaded in the Code Signing section?!

Hey @yallam08!

Did you download your keystore to the same location?

[https://devcenter.bitrise.io/android/code-signing/#download-your-keystore-from-generic-file-storage](https://devcenter.bitrise.io/android/code-signing/#download-your-keystore-from-generic-file-storage)

Regarding to the docs above, you will need a file downloader step with `- source: $BITRISEIO_ANDROID_KEYSTORE_URL` and the `- destination: "$HOME/keystores/mysigningfile.jks"`

Please try that if not already.

Thank you so much, this solved my problem. The docs are not so clear though, not mentioned that this step must be done first.
