Error during cloud make for Android

Anonymous User — Tue, 06 Jul 2021 17:06:05 GMT

Hello Friends,

I am building an App in AppStudio. I have generated the keystore file using the command: keytool -genkey -v -keystore [keystore_name].keystore -alias [alias_name] -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000 as mentioned here https://doc.arcgis.com/en/appstudio/extend-apps/signyourapp.htm under section Sign your Android app .

Surprisingly, when I run the command it doesn't ask me to perform step 7, Enter a key password. This password can be unique, or press Enter to use the same password as the keystore password. Without asking me to enter Key password the Keystore file gets genearted with .keystore extension. I have linked this keystore file with my App by going to settings>platforms>Android , KeyStore file path.

Now, when I do cloud make we have to enter KeyStore and upload key passwords, here I enter the same password for both KeyStore and Upload key, which I have entered for my KeyStore file while generating it using the keytool. When I start the make processs, it gives me the below error

Any help on this is much appreciated.

Thanks,

Rauf

Rauf,

It looks like there is an issue with the password, can you try changing the password to not use special characters?

Erwin.

Hi Erwin,

I'm having the same issue. I changed the password for letters only but i get the same error.

Can you help?

Thanks.

Hi Carlos/ Erwin,

Try adding flag -storetype jks to the keytool command as below:

keytool -genkey -v -keystore {Name].keystore -alias [Alias] -storetype jks -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000

Apparently in order to perform cloud/local make for android platform using AppStudio, the keystore file should have .jks extension or if you are following the AppStudio documentation https://doc.arcgis.com/en/appstudio/extend-apps/signyourapp.htm then add flag -storetype jks to the keytool command mentioned in that article.

Once I generated Keystore file using the above mentioned keytool command, I was able to successfully perform the cloud make.

Esri team should update the link https://doc.arcgis.com/en/appstudio/extend-apps/signyourapp.htm to include this information.

I hope this will help.

Thanks,

Rauf

Generating keystore using the below command should also work.

keytool -genkeypair -alias upload -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 9125 -keystore keystore.jks

Exact same issue and this is exactly what I needed to solve the same problem. Thank you

The documentation absolutely needs to be updated to include the -storetype jks flag in the command, here

Hi, can you help on the following error?

I get the following error "jarsigner: key associated not a private key" when I try to build a maptour app on appstudio using cloud make.

I have been using this keystore in the past and always worked until now.

Any ideas about this issue?

Thanks
