Hi all, yesterday I learned a valuable lesson: do not forget your key. Yesterday I updated eXo and created a new APK for uploading to the Play Store. However, while creating this APK I noticed I forgot the password for the key store needed to sign my app! :
:o :point: Now that is really nasty, as the app key from this keystore is needed to publish an update to my app to the store. The only solution: publish a “new” app and notify everyone of its location. Not so much of a problem when the app is just published for the first time, but a pretty nasty issue if this would have happened on a successful app.
To stop this from happening ever again I added the keystore to my code repository, which ensures good backup of the store, and safely store the key password using a KeePass2 password manager file backed up on several locations (i.e. safe online storage). Do you guys have any good tips on how to manage your Play Store keys?
