Hi everyone,

So I'm super excited that I got GS to publish an app I can install and test on devices.. however now the moment of truth happens when I go to upload the app to the android market.. when i do i get this message:

"Market requires that the certificate used to sign the apk be valid until at least October 22, 2033. Create a new certificate."

I used this tutorial which got me on the right track.. and even in this tutorial I used 10000 for the "validity" I tried a 2nd time and used 11111 to be sure i went above and beyond on that date..

It is talking about a certificate... is this something else outside of the keystore file?

Thanks
Caleb

    I had a post on the youtube video saying if you copy paste the test into terminal it leave off the validity setting. Try hand typing the whole thing. I am going to try it as well since I just got that same message from android. If it fixes it i'll update the video.

    ok i did go back and leave that off. same error occured for me..

    i pasted "keytool -genkey -v -keystore zenhopper.keystore -alias zenhopper -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048"

    answered all the questions also as instructed in the tutorial.. everything seemed to go just fine.. just can't get it to upload to store

    Thanks!

    No I mean when you copy it, it is leaving it out. You need to hand type it and make sure it's in there.

    yea i got it to work this time.. not sure what i did different, but i definitely included the validity stuff.. so yea must have been a copy/paste problem.. thanks for helping clear that up!

    @tenrdrmer I did everything as explained in your video and I can generate the keystore without any problem. But when I select it in the GS Publishing Manager, I insert the Keystore Password (the same i used with the keytool) and nothing happens. I get stuck, with the "!" appearing beside the password field. Everything seem to be configured propely. Have you ever experienced this issue?

    the simple Keysotre Code file in two lines you have to remove the space to be in one line.

    @osalzano
    i have the same problem. im stuck with the "!" at the GS Publish Manager... i tryed to generate the keystore and the apk file through eclipse but nothing happened...
    any solution???
  • part12studiospart12studios Member Posts: 620
    happy new year to you too! :) don't do it with eclipse! just use console.. i tried that route too and had nothing but trouble.. its not needed..

    just use terminal.. the video above doesn't require that program. just start from scratch..

    good luck!

    @part12studios
    i redo the whole workflow with terminal and im stacked again with the "!" at the GE publishing manager!
    any help or suggestions??

    yea i'm not sure. i followed that video tutorial embedded above and it worked like a charm.. perhaps you can contact GS support since you have a pro license. Be sure you downloaded alllll of the android files and make sure you gave them all the time to download and install.. it does take a little while to get all the files.. i'm not sure what you mean by GE (GS?) publishing manager.

    think the issue is this -alias xxxxxxx.alias , we all left out this .alias at the back.
    every command need to end with .????? same for -keystore XXXXXXX.keystore

    @part12studios

    the code should be something like this
    keytool -genkey -v -keystore zenhopper.keystore -alias zenhopper.alias -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000

    when u select keystore in GS publisher you will see xxxxxxx.alias appear not mykey in the verified section.
