Android Question Update APP on Google Play

[Declan]

When I attempt to upload the App Bundle to Google Play, I get the following error:

Your Android App Bundle is signed with the wrong key. Ensure that your App Bundle is signed with the correct signing key and try again. Your app bundle is expected to be signed with the certificate with fingerprint:
SHA1: E4:73:45:8D:9F:B2:B8:EA:4F:F7:34:E4:07:5B:77:4E:ED:46:68:F8
but the certificate used to sign the app bundle that you uploaded has fingerprint:
SHA1: 70:BB:BE:02:85:F8:22:DD:EF:F4:21:0C:B0:40:C2:51:02:C1:A9:F1

On compile I get:

Signing AAB file    (2.30s)
    Algorithm: -digestalg SHA1 -sigalg SHA256withRSA

I have also tried to unload just the APK, but also get an error:

Upload a valid app bundle

Where do I get the correct key?

 

[Erel]

If you are using an old key then you should keep uploading APKs.

If you are using an old key then you should keep uploading APKs.

When I attempt to upload an APK, I get the following error:

Upload a valid app bundle

How do I upload just the APK?

 

[Erel]

My mistake. If you are seeing this line: -digestalg SHA1 -sigalg SHA256withRSA then you are using a new key.

Based on the error message in the first post, you are signing with the wrong key.

Thanks,
How would I:
1). Change the key in the app bundle to the old key?
OR
2). Reset the key on Google Play to accept the new key?

 

[Declan]

How can I resolve this issue?

 

[ilan]

try to add this line in main activity

#SignKeyAlgorithm: -digestalg SHA-256 -sigalg SHA256withRSA

 

[Declan]

#SignKeyAlgorithm: -digestalg SHA-256 -sigalg SHA256withRSA

Having added the above, I still get the following error when uploading the App Bundle to Google Play:

Unfortunately the developer who uploaded the original app has sailed off into the sunset and Users of new versions of Android are unable to download and install the app.

as Erel already said and as you can read from the second line:

Your Android App Bundle is signed with the wrong key.

you are using the wrong key!

if you lost your original keystore file then you will have a problem updating the app.

Lost my keystore for uploaded app on android market

I don't know how to solve my issue. We published an android app on the Android market. After fixing a few issue, we are not able to release it as a next version of the app in marketplace because w...

stackoverflow.com

you may upload it with a new bundle id and hope people will find it at the store and update it from there.
unpublish the old app and upload a new with the same name and description + pictures and i guess most users will search for the app name and find the new app.
(this is in case you cannot recover the old keystore file)

I have finally managed to track down the old keystore file.
However, I get an error when added to the project:

#Region  Activity Attributes
    #FullScreen: False
    #IncludeTitle: False
    #SignKeyFile=E:\XXX\XX\XX\AVP\B4A\avp.keystore
#End Region

Error parsing attribute:#SignKeyFile=E:\XXX\XX\XX\AVP\B4A\avp.keystore

What is the correct syntax?

 

[Andrew (Digitwell)]

you would normally need the password as well

#SignKeyFile: your.keystore
#SignKeyPassword: thepassword

i dont have such a line in my apps.

    #SignKeyFile=E:\XXX\XX\XX\AVP\B4A\avp.keystore

just remove it and see if it is working.
dont forget to load the correct file in Tools -> Private Sign Key

 

[Andrew (Digitwell)]

You can also use "Keystore Explorer" to open the file and check it is ok
