keytool -genkey -v -keystore <my-release-key.keystore> -alias <alias_name> -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000

Change <my-release-key.keystore> and <alias_name> accordingly also in the release.sh file:

ANDROID_ZIPALIGN="/path/to/Android/sdk/build-tools/21.1.2/zipalign"
ANDROID_KEY_PATH="/path/to/keystore/my-release-key.keystore"
ANDROID_KEY_ALIAS="alias_name"

Keyboard adjustment

Some Android versions can have a problem when the keyboard pops up (little hiccup of the app). If it the case on your app it can be prevented:

Open platforms/android/AndroidManifest.xml and change android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize" into android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustNothing".
