Problem signing Android app

[J. Landman Gay]

I think the option to allow Google to manage the keys only appears the 
first time you upload a new app. Maybe there's a way to retake control of 
the keys? Is there any info in the app page that tells you who has control 
of the keys?

If you can verify that Google is managing the keys, and you can't regain 
control, then I think the only fix is for LC to update the SB to recognize 
an upload key.
