I've always used "Keystore Explorer". It's Java based so it runs on any
platform. Lots of options and a decent GUI. Give it a shot and see what's in
your keystore file.

I did a search for the first few words of the error message and got a lot of
hits. Here's one:

koverflow.com%2fquestions%2f23750259%2fcertificate-chain-not-found-how-to-fi
x-and-publish-to-google-play-store

There are several solutions but it sounds like the keystore file can't be
found, or else the alias name doesn't match the keystore fillename. It may
be that the keystore tool you're using assigned a different alias name.

I wonder if diacriticals or foreign characters may interfere. Name your
alias and keystore with a single word using only plain ascii, no spaces or
punctuation. The outside world will never see it.

It's not hard to just use Terminal to generate your own keystore. That way
you know what's in there.
