Android Question Downloading 9.9

[Shelby]

I have a couple of apps published thanks to Klaus and others. I'm now using the 9.8 B4A program. I decided to take a quick check of the IDE before uploading the 9.9; low and behold I get this error:

jarsigner error: java.lang.RuntimeException: keystore load: C:\Users\Shelby\Desktop\B4x\__AreaCalculatorNew\Files\.keystore (The system cannot find the path specified)

I've tried to change the pathway in my configure path button in the tools area but I can't get the dumb thing to take the new pathway to eliminate the error. I'm not sure where I can change that pathway.
Is there a place I'm forgetting to make a change like that within? Trying to move the Keystore, I've put my Keystore everywhere except my dresser.
Thanks

1. Check Tools - Sign Key.
2. It is a mistake to put the keystore file in the Files folder. It will be added to the APK and others will be able to extract it.

Thank you. I still don't know where to store the signkey; I'll put it into the objects folder.

You shouldn't put the keystore file in every project you start.

You can keep it just at one place and set it's path under tools->configure path

So long as you don't change/move it, it will automatically be added to all your projects.

Excellent: I noticed that theory you just mentioned when checking some of my file locations; so now I can rest assured that I don't need to put it in various locations. Is the objects folder ok? Erel mentioned not to put the Keystore file in a files folder so I wasn't sure if the objects folder was any better.
Thanks MC

It's your choice but put it in a place where you will not forget and delete. Mine is in additional libraries
Folder and a backup copy in my Google drive

If you like, you can create a folder on your c:/ drive named B4A Keystore and place it there

OK, thanks again. I definitely have had the backup copy saved (in a closet somewhere).
