Android keystores with non alphanumeric chars not allowed

Unity Services
1

Hi,

I have a game released on google play. I want to build it now on cloud build but uploading my keystore does not work.

The name is “rush ‘n’ roll” and that seems to be the reason. There is no error message but it simply ignores the upload. When I rename the keystore alias to “rushnroll” it works.

Unfortunately I was not able to rename it in a way so that my keystore stays intact, meaning, google play will refuse to update my apk afterwards. I am blocked now using the cloud build until it accepts the ’ and spaces.

Any chance you can fix that with the next update? Also, it would be nice to have the alias dropdown like in Unity instead of entering it manually :slight_smile:

Thank you for this information and the feedback. The ’ works properly on your local build? We will try to fix that if possible.

Yes, local build is just fine and app is released on Google Play with that key.

I am also having a problem where my credentials (which contain non-alpha-numeric strings) are not working on Unity Cloud but are working locally.

David Berger, do you have any update on this? We’re signed up for Unity Cloud but cannot use it.

5

That should be fixed already. Which characters do you used which do not work?

6

David, I will write you a personal message with more info. Thank you.

For the general information. @toblerpwn problem was not related to special characters but more about missleading naming conventions between UCB GUI and Unity Editor GUI. Please refer to following affiliations.

UCB GUI - Unity Editor GUI
Keystore Password - Keystore password
Store Password - Password

Edit: We are currently testing if it is correct, as it looks like following would be correct (but the naming is missleading)

UCB GUI → Unity Editor GUI
Keystore Password → Password
Store Password → Keystore password

Hi David! I’m afraid I’m seeing a similar issue, blocked from signing my app in Cloud Build, but perfectly fine in Unity Editor.

Having selected my keystore in Cloud Build, entered my alias and passwords and attemped to Save Settings, I receive repeated messages of “There was an error: Keystore failed validation (invalid password or alias).”

This happens regardless of the order in which I enter the passwords, having tried both of the interpretations in your last post.

I am, however, using special characters in the alias: underscores. Does UCB not support underscores in a keystore alias?

I’m having an issue, cant sign, please let me know what I can do

“There was an error: Keystore failed validation (invalid password or alias).”

name also contains an underscore

Failed to update credentials! Keystore failed validation (invalid password or alias).

but it works in the editor
