Android Signing

[Ralph DiMola]

Dan,

Now this is starting to be familiar. As I remember it I got an error with
the tool. After many searches I found out there was some problem with the
most recent version of the PEPK tool. I had to download an older version. It
then worked as expected.

Jacqueline,

Thank you for the reply.  That is EXACLY what I am doing.  I downloaded the
public key and the PEPK tool.  Pointed the command to the existing keystore
file and got this error: "Cannot find any provider supporting
RSA/NONE/OAEPWithSHA1AndMGF1Padding..."  It looks like there is an error in
the PEPK tool.  "/NONE/" is not a supported encryption!   I would think it
would be "/AES/".

Anyone done this?  If so, do you have any guidance on this?

I had to do this last week with an update to an existing published app on
Google Play. Do you have your original signing key for the app? You'll need
that first. Sign your app as usual with the original key.

Then look at this:
<https://developer.android.com/studio/publish/app-signing#enroll_existing>

I can't review the necessary Terminal command because I already went through
the process and it isn't available to me now. But originally it gave the
command to generate the Play Store signing key. I already had a pepk.jar
file from before and I used that. I put it into the same directory with Java
because I didn't know how else to do it.

The Terminal command Google provided starts like this:
java -jar pepk.jar --keystore=<yourKeystore.jks> --alias=<your keystore
alias> --output=<create a file name> --encryptionkey=<huge long hex number>

At what point are you getting the errors? My main issue was in getting
Terminal to find Java, it took me a couple of hours and some research to get
the path to Java to work. I know almost nothing about Terminal.

Let us know where you get stuck, though I can't promise I can help. I
congratulate Google on making Android submissions nearly as difficult as
iOS. We need an LC lesson this this.
