I wanna sign the built files, I did as the documentation says, including creating OpenPGP signatures with my key pair, exporting secret key ring file, configurating gradle.properties, then got this error:
Execution failed for task ':signArchives'.
> Cannot invoke "org.bouncycastle.openpgp.PGPPrivateKey.getPublicKeyPacket()" because "<parameter1>" is null
From that brief message you shared my best guess is, that your signing key is not created properly, or that you are not using the key you think you are using.
Can you share a build --scan or at least --stacktrace output?
> Task :signRuntimeElements FAILED
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':signRuntimeElements'.
> Cannot invoke "org.bouncycastle.openpgp.PGPPrivateKey.getPublicKeyPacket()" because "<parameter1>" is null
* Try:
> Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.
> Run with --scan to get full insights.
> Get more help at https://help.gradle.org.
* Exception is:
org.gradle.api.tasks.TaskExecutionException: Execution failed for task ':signRuntimeElements'.
