Error on signing-config.json (Access is denied) running an app in Android Studio

Question

I tried to run my app but I got this error in the android studio:

D:\AndroidStudioProjects\ShelfExpert\app\build\intermediates\signing_config\debug\out\signing-config.json (Access is denied)

What should I do?

Answer 1

Just Delete the File signing_config.json and re-run

And it will work fine

Answer 2

Simply, just run your Android Studio as Administrator and it will do the trick and no need to delete any file or anything. This worked for me.

Answer 3

In Some cases, it will not allow you to remove the file just by pressing "Delete" button.

You need to use "Shift + Delete"
