📣 📣 📣 📣 The java command has recently been changed after the publishing of this video tutorial so copy the new command and use output.zip instead of countville.pem; the rest of the steps are the same as shown in the video. New java command: 27 Dec 2023 $ java -jar pepk.jar --keystore=foo.keystore --alias=foo --output=output.zip --include-cert --rsa-aes-encryption --encryption-key-path=/path/to/encryption_public_key.pem
hey i follow this step and it worked but now i have a zip file so how can i upload it google because i can not upload zip so please can you help me with this ?
You do get a zip file after new command changes. Previously, we had provided the file extension for output ourselves, so I used to make it .pem myself, but now the generated file extension has been provided by Google, so .zip should work when you upload it.
Unable to parse the input: [--keystore=C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\andro\key0.jks, --alias=key0, --output=, C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\AndroOutput\output.zip, --encryptionkey=eb10fe8f7c7c9df715022017b00c6471f8ba8170b13049a11e6c09ffe3056a104a3bbe4ac5a955f4ba4fe93fc8cef27558a3eb9d2a529a2092761fb833b656cd48b9de6a]
It is your Java keystore file. It contains all the private keys for your apps. It must be somewhere on your computer. It might not be named "ks" as this is the name I gave to my keystore file. But it should have the extension jks. It is essential for this play app signing tutorial to work. If you have lost your keystore and your original key then you will have to contact Google Play Console for help.
I'm getting "Unable to parse the input" error whenever I'm trying to run the code in cmd. And since there were spaces in the name of directories I put quotes(" ") at the start and end of all paths,still I'm getting this. Could you please help? Thanks in advance. Edit :- Also, there is this "java.lang.NullPointerException - Output not specified" error.
Copy the files to the downloads folder to avoid spaces. Also, you need to provide a name for the key that will be generated by the command. In my case, I had written \countville.pem after the path of the output folder.
So this is if your app is already signed using Google , what if you have an existing app that was published without Google app signing , could I do the same ? or do I have to submit a totally new app instead to enable Google app signing ? (fyi i lost my original app signing key =) )
No, this video is for apps that weren't signed using Google Play App signing. For example, the app I am showing in this video was made using Solar2D and not Android Studio. The video explains how you can enroll in Play app signing using your existing keystore and key that you used when publishing the app for the first time. Therefore, it assumes that you haven't lost them. If you have lost your keystore and key, you can contact Play Console support. They might ask for some proof that you actually own the app and might let you publish it again as an existing app.
Try using it directly in command with jks extension, and if that doesn't work, then keystore extension. If both don't work, convert keystore to jks. There are many solutions on the Internet but this seems good: stackoverflow.com/questions/49924556/convert-keystore-to-jks-to-sign-apk/49925137#49925137
This is the alias or name of my key for my game count ville. You have to provide your own alias/key name. Also, you must have provided a password for your keystore and key when you created them. Use those passwords.
Make sure that you are using the same key that you used when you first published the app. This tutorial is for opting in play app signing for already published apps so assumes that you already have a proper key store and a key that you created for the app. You have to use the same key but encrypt it using java command and upload the encrypted key. If you use any other key, you will get the error that you are getting right now..
You will need to contact Google Play for help. They will authenticate whether you actually own the app and allow you to use a new key. I don't know the details as I haven't done this before.
The password should have been created by you when you created the key. There are usually two passwords. One that you made for your keystore and the other one is for your app's key. You might have given the same password for both your keystore and your app's key. Try entering the same password.

First of all check that you have given the correct file path for the jar file. Also, have you installed openjdk 20 and set it as Java home? That process has also been explained in the video. If you have done all that too and are also running command prompt as a system administrator and your file path is correct too then I am afraid that there is something wrong with your key store file.

Sorry to hear that you didn't find it easy. What problem did you encounter? Ensure you know where the Java keystore for your app is on your computer. Also, you should know the name of the alias i.e. key for your app within this keystore. The tutorial assumes that you have done all of this while publishing your app and now, you need to just enroll in play app signing for uploading an update to your app. If you have lost your keystore file or don't know the passwords then you can't run this java command to generate your encrypted key for enrolling in play app signing.
