Issue signing Android Release Build Failed to read key from keystore

My problem was that I had entered a random keyAlias. When trying to sign the apk using the IDE (IntlliJ Idea and Android Studio: Build menu -> generate signed APK), by clicking the ellipse button (...) next to the textbox for entering key alias, I found the correct key alias that I had earlier set for my keystore. Double check that you are not entering some ad-hoc random password and keyAlias for your keystore as they should be identical to the password and key alias you set for your keystore when creating it.

If you have forgotten either the password or the key alias, I am afraid you have to create a new keystore as you cannot read your keystore without these. I suggest saving these two properties (and attaching your keystore file) in a password manager like Lastpass, as you need them in future.

Failed to read key key1 from store even tho key is 100% correct

I fixed the issue, and I hate Android studio so much for that. Instead of writing this:

KEYPW='CENSORED'

you have to write this

KEYPW=CENSORED

Duh. Wasted another hour of my life
