Android : Signing Key Got Corrupted - Getting Invalid Keystore Format In Eclipse Signing Wizard
Aug 25, 2010I have a paid application, that I recently published.
For one reason or another, I didn't make a backup copy of the key signature.
After fixing some bugs, I tried to sign the application again as an update, through Eclipse's export as a signed app wizard.
On the screen where the alias is usually selected, i get a message saying "Invalid Keystore Format."
My real issue is how to handle publishing the update as a new, separate application, with regard to the users who have already purchased the application.
Would I issue refunds for the original purchase for users that purchase the new, separate application?

View 4 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Permissions With Application Signing?
Sep 3, 2010I have an application which has some of it's activities restricted via my own permission. The permission is published in the manifest of the application A and a second application B should request this permission and then be able to call an activity from app A. Both applications belong to me and are signed with the same certificate (they share the same keystore and alias/password from it). Application A gets granted the permission but app B gets never granted the permission! Logcat tells me about this during the installation and the app crashes with an security exception when trying to start the activity from app A. What the heck am I doing wrong? Could it be something with the application signing? Please help me, I'm totally out of ideas.

Aug 26, 2010I have my application run on development environment (eclipse - testing using device), then i do right click on my project folder - android tools - export signed application package, then i create new key store and add my information there, then it'll produce the .apk then i put it up on my own webserver (I intend to put it on my own web server and android market place as well) but then, once i try to download my .apk from my testing handset - it said:
"cannot download. the content the content is not supported on this phone"
this is weird, since i do my testing on this same handset as well. so my question are:
- what is the proper way to sign my app so it can be downloaded all the way through my own web server?
but I still can put it up on android market as well? - I have my android market account.
-is there any walk-through for it?
Well Hope someone can give me the answer, I really appreciate your help!
Android :: Getting Ready To Publish - Signing / Aligning Of Application
Nov 10, 2010I'm just about ready to Publish my application. I have a question about the Signing/Aligning of the application. In looking at the Android documentation they say to run "ant release" to compile the application in release mode. Then to sign and align the apk run "jarsigner" and "zipalign". I had used "android create project" to create my build.xml.
I modified it to run proguard. I find that when I run "ant release" it appears that signing is done as part of the process (I'm prompted for my keystore password) and the apk is zipaligned. I guess I'm confused that the documentation makes it 3 steps, "run ant release" then jarsign, then zipalign. BUT, my "ant release" seems to do everything. Is the documentation not upto date? Is it safe/acceptable to just run "ant release"?
General :: Application Not Installed When Signing With Private APK
May 10, 2012I have 2 tools - 1 : APK Manager - 2: Signare (both have their official posts on xda)
I also have jdk 1.6 update 32 installed on my windows 7 x64 bit.
I have created a private key signature manually using the -keytool -v -keystore command and also have created a private key signature using signare.exe app
I am able to sucessfully decompile and recompile apk files (non system apk - example an adw theme) . Now when i am signing the .apk file, the following takes place.
-when i sign it with a test key uaing apk manager, i am able to put it in my sd card and install it and it works fine.
- now when i sign it with a private key signature ( any of the two that i have created), it gets signed successfully but when i put it in my sd card and install it , i get an error message "Application Not Installed".
I really need to know how to ressolve this issue so that i can sign it with a private key .

in one terminal tail and follow log messages
~$ tail -f /var/log/messages
In another terminal run the loop
Then
1. plugin usb and keep it plugged in
2. remove battery, eject sd card.
3. put battery in
4. press vol- and power
5. after around 6 seconds, your terminal with the log will show something like "new high speed USB..."
6. press vol- to select recovery
7. press the power button
8. IMPORTANT- as soon as you see a new log entry (something like "USB disconnect"), pop in the sd card
check your loop terminal for adb. if it doesn't work, repeat at step 2

View 2 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Backing Up App Signing Key
Nov 17, 2009I followed the instructions to create an application signing key and have signed my application and submitted it to the Android Market. Now I am trying to backup my key to make sure it doesn't get lost, but I can't figure out how to do this on Windows Vista.When I look in the directory where I ran keytool to create the keystore I can't find the keystore file. When I use eclipse to sign the application and browse to that directory it shows me that the file <my_company_name>.keystore is there and lets me select it as the keystore for signing my application. But when I look in the directory using windows explorer or a command prompt the file is not there (I do have it set to show me hidden and system files). I also tried looking in places like C:Users<my_user_name> and C:Users<my_user_name> Documents but could not see the keystore anywhere.
I ran the keytool command with "keytool -list -keystore <my_company_name>.keystore" and is does list the keystore and shows that it contains the alias <my_app_name>. However I tried running "keytool -keyclone -keystore <my_company_name>.keystore -alias <my_app_name> -destkeystore <my_usb_thumb_drive> <my_company_name>.keystore -dest <my_app_name> -keypass <the_alias_password>" and keytool tells me that "alias <my_app_name> does not exist. I tried different combinations for several hours but was unable to figure out how to get it to make a backup of my signing keystore on my usb thumb drive.I would greatly appreciate any help in pointing me in the right direction. After reading the warnings about not losing your signing key, I feel that making a backup is critical, but I can't figure out how to find the keystore or get keytool to make the backup. I searched but have not been able to find any instructions that work to do this. It seems like an issue that every developer needs to be concerned about.

View 6 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: App Signing And Market
Jan 29, 2010I have two paid apps in the Android market.My first app was selling a few units per day, I recently uploaded my second app.Both apps were signed with the same private key, both have different packages.
Since uploading the second app I haven't had a single transaction on the first app (as reported by Google checkout).Is that coincidence,or does the market report all transactions for apps that have the same private key as a single app? The market doesn't let a developer by his/her own apps, so I can't test my theory. Anyone else seeing this behavior?
Android :: App Ad-hoc Distribution And Code Signing
Jul 16, 2010Is there a way to code-sign (to allow it to open only on a device with specific ID) your Android app when using ad-hoc distribution (sending app to testers or clients as a subcontractor)?I know I can share apk file pretty easily, but what if I don't want other people to redistribute the app before it is ready? I don't want testers to be able to distribute not finished and buggy version of my app for example. Or I would like to show my client the final version of the app, but not allow them to distribute it until the payment is made.

View 9 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Accessing APK Signing Certificate From Inside Program
Oct 7, 2010I've posted this on Android Security as well, but that group does not appear to have as much activity. Actually I guess my question belongs in this group anyway, even though it touches on some of the security aspects of android packages. My goal is to access the certificate that was used to sign the apk package; and ordinarily, I would do that from inside the program like this
Certificates[] signingCertificates = getClass().getProtectionDomain().getCodeSource().getCertificates();
Unfortunately it appears that getProtectionDomain() returns null on android - according to the specs
http://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Class.html#getProtec...
This method might return null (to converse space?) but only for system classes. Since I'm calling this from one of my own classes, I would expect to get a non-null value, but unfortunately not. I have tried from the emulator, and from an application deployed on my phone using adb through a USB cable. I'm using the latest SDK (2.2) and targeting android 1.6. So I guess I have two questions, the first being: why does getProtectionDomain return null, and have anyone had any success using this method from inside an android application. And the second: Is there some other way to access the certificate that a given apk package was signed with (I can live with the restriction that only a given package can know its own certificate).
Android :: Handle APK Signing For Droid In An FOSS Project?
Oct 29, 2010I'm working on an open source project for android and am wondering whether there are any best practices (or at least well-argued hints) on how to manage the private key for signing the APKs.
On the one hand, the key should be secured, on the other hand, at least the members of the core team should be able to create "official" releases.
My first suggestion was to just distribute the encrypted private key in the source repository and give out the passphrase to committers, but the trust (from the community to the individual) cannot be revoked.
Is there any other way to share the signing rights (e.g. by setting up a private CA and creating keys for each committer) among the members?
