this don’t work with me ( windows 10 ) ; it’s only work on java/bin files ( and then, what to do ? )

I think it’s will be good to make a new post that explained easily with pictures the step to do after we click on " build " in the corona simulator until the official launched of the apps on google or amazon store.

I am quite lost ! It’s the only step that contains difficulties in corona :smiley:

Thanks.

You are right, this won’t work on Windows.  When you CD to a folder in C:\Program Files or C:\Program Files (x86), you cannot write files to any folder there without admin rights.

The keytool command expects you to replace myappname.keystore with a valid file name that you can wrote too.  I am unfortunately away from my Windows computer but you might want to try:

keytool -genkey -v  -keystore  %HOMEPATH%myappname.keystore -alias myappname -keyalg RSA -validity 999999

This will put it in your C:\User\yourusername folder.

Hi,

thanks for that easy manual. It seems to have worked, but:

Now my little App is about 1GB in size.
I am wondering, if that is normal?

@Chricken, please ask your question in a new thread. We don’t want to hijack this thread since it’s about app signing, not app size.

Thanks

I have signed my app and the Keystore is in a safe location. When I want to release an update and I build an Android app, it asks me to enter the Key alias password to continue. I don’t know if I initially entered it wrong or I forgot what I set the password to but I get it wrong every time when I try entering the password BUT the build still succeeds using the Keystore and Key alias.

When I upload the apk to the Play Store, there is no problem.

Should I worry about not being able to get the right Key alias password? Is this a bug in the Corona build feature?

Thanks a lot mate

#152

Where do i set the api level? because my app is getting taken down tonight

#153

Update to a version of Corona 2019.3497 or later (I would get the latest daily build…). It will include support for SDK level 29 and build your app with the new version.
