 The iOS build command requires macOS but won't fail if your system is not macOS.

+For app signing, a keystore will be used. Our build process needs a file with the name **key.properties**. Put this file in the folder
+//<project>/creator/android//, together with your keystore. It's also possible to put the file in your android project folder. We support both locations.
+The **key.properties** will be used to read all relevant information and should contain:
+<code properties>
+keyAlias=<alias>
+keyPassword=<keypassword>
+storeFile=<keystore_filename>
+storePassword=<storepassword>
+</code>
+To support signing, it's important to change your gradle build in folder //<project>/android/app/build.gradle//. We need following changes:
+<code javascript>
+def keystoreProperties = new Properties()
+def keystorePropertiesFile = rootProject.file('key.properties')
+if (keystorePropertiesFile.exists()) {
+    keystoreProperties.load(new FileInputStream(keystorePropertiesFile))
+} else {
+    keystorePropertiesFile = rootProject.file('../creator/android/key.properties')
+    if (keystorePropertiesFile.exists()) {
+        keystoreProperties.load(new FileInputStream(keystorePropertiesFile))
+    } else {
+        keystorePropertiesFile = rootProject.file('../../../android/key.properties')
+        if (keystorePropertiesFile.exists()) {
+            keystoreProperties.load(new FileInputStream(keystorePropertiesFile))
+        }
+    }
+}
+</code>
+and
+<code javascript>
+signingConfigs {
+    release {
+        keyAlias keystoreProperties['keyAlias']
+        keyPassword keystoreProperties['keyPassword']
+        storeFile keystoreProperties['storeFile'] ? rootProject.file(keystorePropertiesFile.getParent() + '/' + keystoreProperties['storeFile']) : null
+        storePassword keystoreProperties['storePassword']
+    }
+}
+buildTypes {
+    release {
+        signingConfig signingConfigs.release
+    }
+}
