Describe the problem

when it says instructions for key.properties it says:

storePassword=<password from previous step>
keyPassword=<password from previous step>
keyAlias=upload
storeFile=<location of the key store file, such as /Users/<user name>/upload-keystore.jks>

If my storePassword was '123456', key password '789123, and storeFile ''C:/upload-keystore.jks', The instructions indicate my key.properties file should be this:

storePassword=<123456>
keyPassword=<789123>
keyAlias=upload
storeFile=<C:/upload-keystore.jks>

when in reality it should be like this: key.properties file should be this:

storePassword=123456
keyPassword=789123
keyAlias=upload
storeFile=C:/upload-keystore.jks

Maybe it's obvious, but it can't hurt to specify for noobs like me, not to include '<>' (i spent hours trying to figure out why my app wasn't building)

Expected fix

specify not to include '<>'
