I stand corrected, thanks.

Klaus,

Once you lose the keystore you don't have the key pair used to generate the keystore entry. Scott is correct, you have to re-publish with all the headaches Scott enumerated.
Sorry man...

Subject: Re: Android API 34 and Android keystore

As for which SDK variant to install… I don’t know but hope you will report back before I encounter this question :- )

As for the second question about the lost keystore… a few years ago I encountered a similar problem (I apparently overwrote my keystore with a different one and, by the time I needed to submit an update to GooglePlay, I had lots of back-ups of the wrong keystore!) After reading up on things I came to the conclusion that there was no solution and that without the original keystore the app could no longer be updated in GooglePlay. The only way forward I could see was to “unpublish” the existing app and create a new app entry (with a different internal name but using the same storefront name.) This meant that the existing users couldn’t “update” their app without downloading the new app (searchable under the original name.) I can’t recall how I handled the user-data that the original app generated but I suspect that it was lost and needed to be recreated. (With this app it would have been mildly annoying but not unbearable. I can imagine use-cases where moving the data might be a big issue.) This was a commercial app where the clients were known to me so it was possible to notify them and they could get the word out to their employees.

This was a number of years ago so perhaps things have changed since then. I hope that you find a better solution, Klaus.

Hi all,

two questions:
1. In my "Android Studio" there are three options for SDK Tools for API level 34:
34
34-ext8
34-ext12

What should I install? 34 or all of them?

2. I need to update my Android freeware app to above mentioned API.
I had uploaded the first version to Google Play with a self signed
key, made with Android Studio, Google was content.

As far as I understood this, I need to use this key for every upload of that app.
And Google then takes care of (final) signing etc.

However I lost that keystore file during a hd crash a couple of months ago.
What should/can I do?

Any advice much appreciated, thank you!


Best

Klaus
