Generate Signed APK isn't displayed in Android Studio

Question

I am on Android Studio 3.6.3 and in order to publish my App to the Playstore, I need to generate a signed APK. As I learned in multiple consultations of the internet, there should be the option in the Menu->Build->generate signed APK. It is not there. Also, I can't change my Build Variants, 'nothing to show' is displayed. I found in an older answer to set my Keystore up in the Project structure section, which is no longer possible, at least for me. So I went to the build.gradle, set up my Keystore, imported the Android-Certificate put all my credentials there. Error in line 58, Could not get unknown property 'meister', was the result. All options I found to generate this signed APK aren't working for me. I just don't know how to help me now, other than asking you.

missing option, generate signed APK

seems like a problem with the IDE. try to rename .androidstudio file(it's usually is c:/users//.androidstudio then reopen android studio let me know if it works

Answer 3

I'm not sure if this is the recommended method, but I also did not have the generate APK/ app bundle option in Android Studio. What worked for me was to right-click on the Android folder of my project in Android Studio. I selected "Flutter > Open Android module in Android Studio" in a new window. I then could see "Build > Generate APK" in Android Studio.
