Thanks Mark. You have always helped me out, now and in the past! I know that the encryption is irreversible, wanted to know if there is a workaround for upgrading!
Could someone convey this to Google, that, loosing a keystore is possible, highly STUPID, but possible. They should have a fall back plan! To upgrade the application, with another keystore or some other secure procedure. Just a thought! I am left at the mercy of my downloaders, to shift to the new application, as I need to put my upgraded application as a new application. Regards, Saurav Mukherjee.
