I'm trying to make a .keystore file in Android Studio 3.0.1, but whenever I try to "Generate Signed APK", I always end up with a JKS file. I need a debug.keystore file for a game I am making in Godot, and will be releasing the game onto the Google Play Store. Any help is greatly appreciated.

If you have the Android SDK installed, the debug.keystore is unique to your machine for development purposes only.
On Windows 10 it is located at: C:\Users\{username}\.android\debug.keystore
Linux/ Mac OS: ~/.android/debug.keystore
That should allow you to deploy an APK to a test device or emulator. When you are ready to put in on the play store, you need to always sign the apk with the same key in a keystore you generate. The .JKS file is the release keystore.
