title: Gradle: Password Verification failed - Android Studio
body: <p>I have a problem with gradle saying <strong>"Password verification failed"</strong> when I rebuild my project right after I clean the project. The funny thing is that when I <strong>"Generate Signed Bundle/Apk"</strong> using my key store password and key password, my project doesn't complain about any passwords and completes the compiling for a pro-release or free-release version of the app and the app works fine on an device from side loading the apk. So I know the passwords and alias names are correct but setting up <strong>"proRelease"</strong> or <strong>"freeRelease"</strong> as build variant when testing app with an plugged in device get the <strong>"Password verification failed"</strong> message. I've tried to change my gradle version, remove .gradle folder and invalidate caches/restart, but none worked. Any fixes for something like this? Thx</p>
