Signing APK/AAB in Cordova not signed even when passing keys

I am building a Cordova app to publish on the playstore and trying to sign it. The process I am following is

> cordova build android --release --buildConfig ANDROID_HOME=/Users/dev002/Library/Android/sdk (recommended setting) ANDROID_SDK_ROOT=/Users/dev002/Library/Android/sdk (DEPRECATED) Using Android SDK: /Users/dev002/Library/Android/sdk BUILD SUCCESSFUL in 1s 1 actionable task: 1 up-to-date Consider enabling configuration cache to speed up this build: https://docs.gradle.org/9.3.1/userguide/configuration_cache_enabling.html Subproject Path: CordovaLib Subproject Path: app (node:58130) [DEP0176] DeprecationWarning: fs.F_OK is deprecated, use fs.constants.F_OK instead (Use `node --trace-deprecation ...` to show where the warning was created) > Task :CordovaLib:compileReleaseJavaWithJavac Note: Some input files use or override a deprecated API.

You can use '--warning-mode all' to show the individual deprecation warnings and determine if they come from your own scripts or plugins. For more on this, please refer to https://docs.gradle.org/8.13/userguide/command_line_interface.html#sec:command_line_warnings in the Gradle documentation. BUILD SUCCESSFUL in 4s 61 actionable tasks: 58 executed, 3 up-to-date Built the following bundle(s): /Users/dev002/dev/mobile-cordova-3/cordova/platforms/android/app/build/outputs/bundle/release/app-release.aab

My build.json file is

{ "android": { "debug": { "keystore": "sign-key-1.jks", "storePassword": "xxx", "alias": "key0", "password": "xxx", "keystoreType": "jks", "packageType": "apk" }, "release": { "keystore": "sign-key-1.jks", "storePassword": "xxx", "alias": "key0", "password": "xxx", "keystoreType": "jks", "packageType": "bundle" } } }

However, whey I check the file at the end it is not signed. There is no errors, all output is above. What can I do to find out the reason?

> jarsigner -verify app-release.aab no manifest jar is unsigned
