Lost keystore file for app (but have Google Play App Signing enabled)

Tags:

android

I have lost the original keystore file used to sign my app with.

My app has Google Play App Signing enabled.

If I contact Google Support is it possible to reset the key so that I can continue uploading to this package? I'm hoping that I can do this because App Signing is enabled, but am not sure if my assumption is correct.

How do I add a new keystore or app signing in Google Play Console after lost or forget keystore?

Open Play Console and go to the Play App Signing page (Release > Setup > App integrity). In the “Upgrade your app signing key” card, select Request key upgrade. Select an option to upgrade your app signing key for all new installs. Have Google generate a new app signing key (recommended) or upload one.

Seems it should work. "Manage your app signing keys With Google Play App Signing, you can securely manage your app signing keys for new or existing apps. Keys are stored on the same secure infrastructure Google uses to store its own keys.

If you lose your keystore or think it may be compromised, Google Play App Signing makes it possible to request a reset to your upload key. If you're not enrolled in Google Play App Signing and lose your keystore, you'll need to publish a new app with a new package name." https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/7384423?hl=en

Instructions at the end of the page:

"Reset your upload key Step 1: Generate a new private key and upload certificate Step 2: Contact our support team"
