Hello. I had the same error.In my case The problem was in the signing section. I fix it by apply the signing manually:

add the plugin in your gradle:

` id("signing")`

then config it:

```auto
signing {
    useInMemoryPgpKeys(
        keystoreProperties["signing.keyId"].toString(),
        File(keystoreProperties["signing.secretKeyFile"].toString()).readText(),
        keystoreProperties["signing.password"].toString()
    )
}

```

hope it helps someone. Happy coding
