Keystore question

Solar2D Android
#1

Ready to create builds of my 4 games for Android, so im working with keystore for the first time.

I created one like this:

keytool.exe -genkey -v -keystore C:\Android\mykeystore.keystore -alias SpotItKeyAlias -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000

Works fine, but my question is:

Do I need to create a seperate keystore for every app? Like:

keytool.exe -genkey -v -keystore C:\Android\App1.keystore -alias App1KeyAlias -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000

Or just one keystore for all apps?

If you’re app is with NOOK, SAVE YOUR KEY! You MUST use the exact same generated key for updates - so keep it backed up. (Unlike iTunes where you can simple make another profile and use that one.) [import]uid: 40033 topic_id: 32814 reply_id: 130486[/import]

I’ve been using one keystore for all my apps. Is this a bad thing?

@robmiracle

In that case it would be a lot easier :wink: As long as Amazon/Google Play accepts it

@Rob - interesting. I don’t build for Android stores at all, not in awhile - but I remember when I was initially taught about keystores and the Google Marketplace I was told you were meant to have one for each app. Perhaps this is no longer necessary, or I was misinformed - I’m going to try and research this tonight and see what I come up with :slight_smile: [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 32814 reply_id: 130507[/import]

I’ve not had any rejections from any of the stores and I have multiple apps in all of them. [import]uid: 19626 topic_id: 32814 reply_id: 130508[/import]
