I just recently found out the importance of backing up the keystore file in Android Studio. I have two apps published using this computer. Both times I simply used "Generate APK" in Android Studio Build drop down. I would really appreciate some instructions on where exactly can I find the keystore file that Android Studio used to sign those apks with and what else do I need to do to be able to publish updates to my apps from PC's other than this one. Thank you.
After clicking on the app, Navigate to Tasks. Inside Tasks, navigate to “android” and double click on the signing report option. After clicking on this option you will get to see the path for your debug. keystore file.
The Android Keystore system lets you store cryptographic keys in a container to make it more difficult to extract from the device. Once keys are in the keystore, they can be used for cryptographic operations with the key material remaining non-exportable.
keystore file stored in one of the following locations: ~/. android/ on OS X and Linux. C:\Documents and Settings\ user \.
Go To: Build -> Generate Signed APK
Select APK.
You would then be required to choose an existing keystore path or create one if u don't created it then create a new one... after that Go to Project Structure and set the keystore path that you have created... hope it works
