Is your keystore missing?
Did you add a keystore to your Publishing Settings? If not, you can create one under:
Edit → Project Settings → Player → Publishing Settings
look here

Enable “Custom Keystore” and use the Keystore Manager to create a key and place it inside your project. Keep the passwords somewhere save. You have to type it in everytime, if you restarted Unity, before you start a build.

Yes i did. And i even readded it.

4

Error mentions debug keystore. Try removing “C:\Users\username\.android\debug.keystore”, Unity would recreate it on next launch.

5

Tried that. It did not recreat it at all. Still gave the same error. And then when i restored thr files it said same thing.

6

Did you restart Unity after deleting keystore?
If that doesn’t help - open android studio and try to build. That should create debug.keystore as well

7

Yes i did. And how would i do that on android studio?

9

I updated to the latest 2024 build and same issue.

10

so i figured out how to build and that didn’t work but when i update android studio it fixed that error. but when it build it was an errored project, nothing worked. so i tried to use that android
studio sdk and stuff and it give a message saying cant read and outdate and when i try to update it is just stuck in a loop. what should i do? i really need help!

How does your External Tools window look?

here is what it looks like. this is with the android studio files selected instead of unity. which give the error message attached above
Screenshot 2024-09-24 132335

and this is the default wich builds but the app crashes idmeatly. which is something the older versions of unity did not do. and there has been no changes except the update of unity

14

And I tried exporting it to Android studio and building but it still is using the unity scripting. So it’s looking for files that do not exist in that situation. And if I try to use third party files through the preferences instead of the unity ones, it will not build no matter what, but when I build with unity like I said that just crashes, the application does not work even though there’s been no changes to it other than the update to unity.

15

So I tried pulling the old backup from the server from the last time. It built successfully using the old version of unity with that. It does the exact same thing. The new version of unity does the game. Once it’s built builds fine with the unity’s default settings. But the game launches and then you click one thing and it and it crashes, and then if you try to use the Android studio. SDK it says that it can’t see it because it needs to be updated, but won’t update it because it says the file is not rightable, just like the other version of unity does. Is there anything else we can try?

16

I have seen other post that people are having the same issue. Please i need help what can be done to fix this?! The deadline for the play store is november 2nd. And this needs to be resolved. @IGuscin

17

One of the options - completely remove Unity, remove debug.keystore (“C:\Users\username.android\debug.keystore”) and install latest Unity version. Make sure, that all the External Tools settings are set to default (to use tools delivered with Unity). Try to make a build. If you face issues - post new error log you’re seeing.
Also, you can try creating a custom keystore (your initial error was talking about debug.keystore, so maybe would succeed using custom one)

18

So we’ve already.
Done that the issue with the keystore has been fixed. The issue we’re having now and the later messages. Is that when we go to build in unity? The application crashes right after it launches. Or if we try to use the SDK from Android studio, unity doesn’t recognize. There’s a version on there and can’t update it because it just goes in a loop or it says that the file is not readable.

19

If build succeeds using Unity default setup - good. For the crash - share exact crash log

20

It is crashing on the testing phones that the apk is installed on. It started on this most reacent update on any devices that are running android 14. Which is nesscarry for playstore adherence for there policy old builds on older phones work fine. And the older app on the app store works. Its just the new stuff that were having issue with.

21

Share the crash log.
The only thing I can think of - broadcast receiver crash on Android 14, so you can try searching that direction:
Remove all the Gradle templates from your project (make a backup just in case)
Recreate needed templates
Resolve dependencies using External Dependency Manager
Build and run

If these steps didn’t help - probably that crash is caused by one of the plugins you’re using. You could try updating all of these to the latest versions (a lot of the plugins were already updated to address that issue) or try removing these one by one until crash is gone

22

How do i get the crash log off the phone?
