App signing

Hi

I Need a little help with the new app signing process for app bundles. Previously i have been using the apk method and a key generated back from unity v4.

To opt-in to the new method, the google play store greets me with these options:

  1. Upload a key exported from Android Studio
  2. Export and upload a key from a Java keystore
  3. Export and upload a key (not using a Java keystore)

I do not use android Studio and have no idea what the other 2 even mean.

Thank you

Unity is generating Java keystore and a key in it. This was always used to sign apk files. So if you have a keystore file that you have previously used to sign your apk, this is a Java keystore file.

Thank you for your reply,

So are you trying to say i should choose option number 2?

I suppose you already find the way, but in case anyone is having the same trouble as us, we did this

If you are using Windows…

  1. Download the “pepk.jar” and copy&paste the file to the folder where you have the KEYSTORE
  2. In the folder where the files are, press SHIFT+CLICK look for the option to Open with… (could be PowerShell or console)
  3. Copy the text from Google Play and Replace the info: “keystore” and “alias” also the “path” and remember to add *.zip to the output file
  4. After that the console will ask you for the password, type it in (it won’t show in the console) and press ENTER
  5. It should be done after re-enter the password
  6. Then upload the Zip file to Google Play

The steps aren’t any clear so hope this help many people.
