Hey all, I went to go build my app for release mode, but when I click the drop down list, there is no option for release, only debug. So I was wondering, do I need to create the .keystore file BEFORE selecting which version of release to build? Or can you not build for release in the free version of Corona? Another question now, it just came to mind. I read this article on signing your app (http://developer.android.com/tools/publishing/app-signing.html), but I did not understand how exactly to do it. So, to create a keystore file, would I right click > new > text document > and then call it [releasename].keystore? If that is correct, can someone tell me what exactly I should type in that file to create a valid release keystore? Sorry for my ignorance, and thanks for the help
liimbix,
I would recommend following the “Signing for Release Build” instructions here:
http://docs.coronalabs.com/guide/distribution/androidBuild/index.html
The .keystore is generated from the command prompt. When you get to the password creation step, don’t forget the password. You can not use the .keystore you generate without providing that password when you build.
Ah, that’s exactly what I needed! Many thanks!!
