Android Question IDE doesnt remember different private key assigned to each app

[JohnC]

If one app uses a particular parivate key file, then the IDE ends up using that same private key for ALL my subsequently-loaded B4A apps.

How can I get the IDE to *automatically* use one private key file for one app and switch to a different private key file for a different app?

Currently it is not possible. Why do you use different keys for different apps?

In most cases it is better to use the same developer key.

You could make different INIs for B4A and then use a startscript (or tool) which copy the right INI to
C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming\Anywhere Software\Basic4android\b4aV0.1.ini
and then start B4A....

In this ini you find the informations which key is used.

As i wrote: you COULD. But i suggest to not doing that... The time will come and you work with the WRONG B4A-INI and then your problems are big.

As Erel says: In most cases there is no need for different Developer keys. I personally know NO case.

BTW:

It´s not a bug; It´s a feature! It remembers THE selected sign-key You dont have to be worry about the damned signkey. You set it up once and you´re gone. No need to change it.

I wrote an app for a client in which the app uses google maps, so I had to get a play key and I just dont want to have myself associated with that play key if the client does anything wrong down the road using that key. And I'd rather not have my other apps use the clients private key.

It would be nice if the IDE could remember each applications assigned private key, this way I dont have to remember to swap back and forth or trust that a script didnt hicup.
