Build Failed Error code: 256

I get this error.

Few hours I had no problem.

Didn’t change anything.

I get the error whatever I try to build.

BUILD FAILED /Applications/Corona-3474/Corona Simulator.app/Contents/Resources/build.xml:525: The following error occurred while executing this line: /Applications/Corona-3474/Corona Simulator.app/Contents/Resources/build.xml:417: Failed to sign the APK.

Do you have a complete console log from the build?

Hi Rob.

Thank you for helping.

I thought it was a problem from Corona side.

Now I guess it’s just me.

No worries I will find what I’m doing wrong

Hi. Did you fix your error? I’m getting 256 too)) I think my error is in my keystore file, because when I build in debug mode (debug.keystore provided by corona), I don’t get any error, but as soon as I use my created keystore to build apk, I’m getting error 256. Thank you.

Hi Rob,

I am getting the same issue. This is my console output:

@bitcoin985 sorry for the delay.

In my case I caused the problem.

I renamed the keystore folder by mistake and Corona couldn’t find it

tap32 · June 20, 2019, 7:58pm

I just solved this myself by converting my keystore to a newer format in a new file and using that instead.

keytool -importkeystore -srckeystore mykeystore.keystore -destkeystore mykeystore.jks -deststoretype pkcs12 -destkeypass "password"

I also can build successfully , but when i tried to install on my Android 8 device , i can see : Google Play protect popup with blocked message.
