I know this is old post but I bumped into the same problem today. Therefore, I am answering this question so that going forward java developers can find their mistake right away!
The very sad part is Android developer site is not clear on what characters are allowed while generating the certificate for the Signed APK. That is just stupid from the documentation perspective to me. May be because no one has tried it or tested it with special characters!
In my case it was failing because of the following:
- my last name has apostrophe in it and it is a invalid character
- in Organization I used, period and comma which are invalid characters as well
Therefore, the simple answer is just use plain text characters in order to proceed. Space is accepted!
However, you have to try other characters one by one and see which ones are allowed and which one are not. The sad part is, the error message is a vague message like we used get error message back in 80s like "Errors Occured!". Come on Java you can do better than that. Based on the message I am getting, it seems like it is the Java API issue and not Android but I may be wrong....
