Since updating to Android Studio Chipmunk I am no longer able to generate signed AAB files. I'm not getting any errors, Android Studio just doesn't do anything. I select the menu item "Generate signed package / APK" -> I select Android App Bundle -> I specify the key store (already used successfully in the past) -> then I select the Release option and press the Finish button ... but absolutely nothing happens. Like the build request is ignored. Any idea ?

As per my understanding you have started using new Android Studio Chipmunk and trying to updated your android application (version 1) that was previously developed using Android Studio only; have signed (E.g. with Key store & Key alias) and published to Play Store, now at present you wanted to update or release a new version (called version 2) of previously developed application using new Android Studio Chipmunk and generating new signed build via same Key store & Key alias.
As far as I knew, it is "know issue" with Android Studio Chipmunk. Actually Android Studio Chipmunk does not consider different-different password for both Key store & Key alias. It is only consider same password for Key store & Key alias.
You need to select the right key from the key alias dropdown. While generating the signed build from the Generate Signed build or APK dialog, click on the icon next to the key alias field:
Then select the right key which you had used previously:
click OK and then Next. Select the right Build variant and click the Finish button. You should see the build happening.
