I've tested this way:
- `created project, added master android platform`
- `λ cordova run android --release` ->
```
Built the following apk(s):
f:/coho/CB-10600/test/platforms/android/build/outputs/apk/android-release-unsigned.apk
Using apk:
f:/coho/CB-10600/test/platforms/android/build/outputs/apk/android-release-unsigned.apk
Error: Failed to install apk to emulator: WARNING: linker: libdvm.so has
text relocations. This is wasting memory and is a security risk. Please fix.
pkg: /data/local/tmp/android-release-unsigned.apk
Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES]
```
- `λ cordova run android --release --
--keystore=../my-release-key.keystore --storePassword=password
--alias=alias_name --password=password` ->
```
BUILD SUCCESSFUL

So the first issue is that even though it has built a signed apk it uses an
unsigned one because of last modification time sorting probably.
If we do `cordova clean android` and run `-- --keystore` again it will
succeed (`--buildConfig` option works the same way).
Using your PR version makes `unsigned` apk to not be listed so that
successive builds after `cordova run android --release` work although I would
better change the sorting logic to prefer a signed build and output a message
about signing requirement in case of `run` command if the filter has returned
`unsigned` apk.
