   Hello.
   
   The instructions above are right on the money.
   Furthermore, and in case this helps anyone:
   You can skip the signing step itself. If you add a build.json file to your project with the release signing info (see [https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/guide/platforms/android/index.html#using-buildjson](https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/guide/platforms/android/index.html#using-buildjson)), then this will automatically generate a release-signing.properties file, which in turn will be used by the Gradle tasks (including the task to build the bundle). So, step 3 can be sidestepped entirely.
   Also, running the gradlew "bundle" task generates bundles for both debug and release. If you want to only generate the release version, use "bundleRelease" (or "bundleDebug" to get the debug version).
   
   Cheers!
