Description

With cordova-android master, I'm not setting signed release builds.
I'm specifying the keystore and passwords in my build.json file.

The output of cordova build android --device --release is as follows:

ANDROID_HOME=/usr/local/Caskroom/android-sdk/25.2.3
JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_112.jdk/Contents/Home
Reading build config file: .../build.json
Reading the keystore from: ../correct.keystore
