Create a keystore file
The tool makes it very easy to create your keystore file. This file can be used for all your games. There is no need to create a new one for each app/game.
Just to let you know...
Note: Save the information used to create the file! Especially the alias and the two passwords! Also save the keystore file and make backups of it!
- (1) – Locate your Java JDK 1.6 installation path (Java/bin/…)
- (2) – Update the information for the keystore file (save your password, you’ll need it every time you want to sign your app!)
- (3) – Click ‘Save as …’ and save the path you want to create the keystore file
- (4) – Click ‘Generate Keyfile’
If you have added all information and the generation was successfully you will get this notification.
Sign your App
Here you find a simple video showing the steps below.
Switch to the ‘Signer’ tab and make sure the path to your JDK 1.6 installation is set.
- (1) – Load your keyfile and enter your two passwords (Hint: if you enter the ‘Password’ press the tabulator key. If you password was right the Alias will be set automatically)
- (2) – Load your app you want to sign (make sure that you have unchecked ‘Sign’ at Intel XDK, otherwise the apk is debug-signed already)
Press ‘sign’ to sign your app. You will get a file named ‘…SINGED_UNALIGNED.apk’
Align your app
Now go to the ‘APK Alignment’ tab and load the apk you got after the signing.
- (1) – Load your signed app file
Press ‘align’ and you will get a file named ‘…SIGNED_ALIGNED.apk’. This file is ready to be uploaded to the Google Play Store.
