Re: [android-beginners] I can't update my app in the android market
Yeah, unfortunately you're SOL. This happened to me when I tried my very first update and had to re-publish as a new app with a new package name. Fortunately it was the free version of my app and only the first update so I didn't have a huge install base. I did not make the same mistake with the paid version. Then I would have been *screwed*.

Re: [android-beginners] I can't update my app in the android market
Sadly, no. There is nothing you can do. I was in this same situation. You will have to release the update as a new application. You can learn from this. Sign up for an online storage site and keep a copy of it there. I use DropBox because its free.

[android-beginners] I can't update my app in the android market
Hi all, I'd like to upload a new version of my droidChat to the android market but when i press update, it sais i've signed the apk with a diferent key than the one is in the market. I've lost the other keystore because i've changed the PC and i can't access to the previous one. I've also asked google help with no response about this issue. Is there any way to extract the previous key from the old apk and then sign the new one with that key? What can I do?
