Certificate / keystore for standalone app

[Thomas Heine]

Hi everybody,i want to publish an App in the google play store. I created the keystore-file and copied it into the Licecode Project-Folder.
In Standalone-Settings i entered the values:

signing = sign with my key
key = the created file in the Livecode-Project - Folder. Then i exeuted "Save as standalone Application", entered the requested Alias and the passwords and after i a while i get the error:
"There was an error while saving the standalone Application
signing failed- private key algorythm is not compatible with signature algorythm.

I use livecode Community Edition _5.

What can i do?

Thanks for help.

How did you create the key? What terminal command did you use?

Hi jacque,
thank you for your answer. i could solve the problem in the meantime. I simply forgot the option
-keyalg RSA
. Now i could create a signed apk-file.

But the problem is: i did not know that since August 2021 simple APK- files can not be uploaded in the play store ny more, but that you need an app bundle. A si mentioned in my first post,i use Livecode 9_5 Community Edition. Is it possible, to create an APP-Bundle for an APK of 9_5? Or is an higher Version ofLivecode needed? Are there other tools, which can create an app-Bundle?
Thanks.

You need a recent version of LC to create bundles. The option is in the Android standalone settings. I don't know if there are other ways to create a bundle, maybe there are terminal commands.

After you submit to the Play Store you are also now required to use Google's signing keys, but that is a different task.
