i have purchased the year subscription to corona and i cant build a Keystore,or private key,or public key i know nothing of building one and when i try the documented way using keytool and jarsigner thru command i get this error so i can go no further, ‘KEYTOOL IS NOT A VALID COMMAND’ now i understand that happens if you dont have the path to java set correctly, u can test that by typing “java” in command,i did and it showed my java stuff on the screen,so i think the path is set correctly so what else could it be? im on old dell dimension 3000 celeron processor…could my comp be too old? i have windows xp service pack 2 with net framework 3.5…so i have all the goodies,but somethings not right…i have tried all the auto keysigners and stuff,but market denys it and says no auto keys…>.< please help i have 2 games finished and desperatley want to get them out there…please someone walk me thru this thing [import]uid: 124254 topic_id: 22365 reply_id: 322365[/import]

Check out this tutorial I wrote a while ago:

In the comments people explain how to do it. There is also Corona documentation as well.

Hi! May be you dont declare your JDK path in cmd?

Press win+r, type cmd.exe, press enter.
and do something, like this screenshot:

thank you very much,just woke up but ill get started on it right away after my morning coffee.im very exited about this because this wasnt covered in any of the other tutorials,they just said “this is assuming your paths were previously set correctly”…then they give no help on doing that…and the one i found that mentioned paths,didnt say anything like that…so im very hopeful…ty [import]uid: 124254 topic_id: 22365 reply_id: 89333[/import]

Ok success in making the keystore…havent tested it yet to see if it works,but i have a file in my java bin labeled keystore.So i say thank you to both you guys…it seems my problem was syntax. i was using full path directory in command,command does not know how to read this…so i took out the documents and settings part of my path…so that being said,the ninja pig tut works for all,but the picture andy here posted helped me understand what to type better…so if anyone has this issue again just follow ninja pigs tutorial to the letter…and simply look at andys pic to understand what it should look like…and your home free…thanx guys…i now will try it out and see if my keystore works…UPDATE…Works like a charm…search no further noobs your answer lies in this thread…this will be helpful if you have 0 coding experience like me and are taking your baby steps here. Corona is the place to learn…thank you all for helping and i will return this to others as i get better and new ones come… : ) [import]uid: 124254 topic_id: 22365 reply_id: 89344[/import]

Does anyone have corresponding Terminal cmd for MAC? I’ve been following the 3 steps but not getting past the enter password bit. Maybe my JDK path needs to be declared? [import]uid: 94653 topic_id: 22365 reply_id: 106890[/import]
