According videos and these link I am able to make .APK of android project but I am confused with some blog that say to make signed APK and save keystore in gradle file or something similar like that . Also some blog Says if you want to update your app you should store keystore locally

And I am getting very confused . Pleas explain me what is the process . Thank You .

It is necessary to generate signed apk while publish app on play store for that purpose you have to select path(key store path) where .jks file is generated that contain details app info(keystore file info) & other signing authority details

You can store it anywhere It is just path to store file but remember path where you are going to store it. This generated file is nothing but signed apk. – Pratiksha Shaha Nov 03 '19 at 11:34
