would "Build APK" sign the apk if signingconfig & release mode is defined

Question

build.gradle:

android {
    signingConfigs {
        config {
            keyAlias 'asdfasdf'
            keyPassword 'asdfs'
            storeFile file('D:/Keystore/sfs.jks')
            storePassword 'fdfd'
        }
    }
...

if I misplace file path in storeFile, whild building apk Studio gives .jks file not found. It requires signingConfigs.

Just want to quick confirm,
Build -> Build APK(s) creates signed apk if signingconfig is defined in release mode(i.e. release is chosen in Build Variant)?

Just want to quick confirm, Build -> Build APK(s) creates signed apk in this case — AskQ, Aug 01 '17 at 07:31

Tried. It generates apk but how would one know if it's signed or not — AskQ, Aug 01 '17 at 07:43

Yes it will create signed apk, for debug apk you need to select Build Variant as debug.
