Thank you very much for reporting this issue, Jack. Looks like the issue is caused by somewhat unnecessary and contrived logic in apksigner.bat, which is special-casing -J* parameters. Unfortunately, this logic doesn't handle whitespace containing parameters, even those which aren't -J*.

I've uploaded a tentative fix https://android-review.googlesource.com/#/c/394238/ for review. The patched apksigner.bat is attached. This fixes the issue on my Windows 10 box.

Jack, please test the fix in your environment and let us know whether it works for you too.

Confirmed, that fix works. Thank you for the quick turn-around on this.

    Handle whitespace when removing -J* parameters in .bat
   
    apksigner.bat contains special logic for -J* parameters. This logic
    was not designed to handle parameters containing whitespace. This
    commit fixes the issue. It is unclear whether this -J* logic is even
    needed. So, if it keeps breaking stuff, we should probably simply
    remove it.
   
    Test: apksigner sign --ks "nonexistent.jks" --ks-pass pass:123123 --ks-key-alias "bug apksigner test" nonexistent.apk
          Fails with FileNotFoundException instead of "a was unexpected at this time"
