How do I generate a signature for my app so I can publish it on the Play Store? This is my first time trying to publish, but it's not letting me go without this key. I'd like to know how to proceed.

@quaint walrus Hi! I'm new to this too, so maybe i cannot guide you completely to the goal, but I've found this article very helpful:
https://developer.android.com/build/building-cmdline#sign_manually
Basically, you create a signing key with keytool, then "compress" the app with zipalign and eventually sign it with apksigner. Let google manage your keys and then you can give it a signed app bundle with development signing (at least that's how I understand it).
You need of course Android studio to be installed since these tools come from the packages there...they will not be in your PATH so find the location and either add them to your path or make an alias for them.
Worked for me so far, but I've only tried uploading releases for Internal testing.
Hope this helps! 🙂
