Problem signing Android app

[panagiotis m]

Hello Klaus,

When you tried to upload a new build using your original keystore, was it
actually the original one? Usually this error (i.e. that you did not use
the correct key for signing) is thrown when a different key is used to sign
an app update compared to the key used to sign the previous build(s) you
have submitted.

Kind regards,
Panos
