Add Android credentials and your keystore

Google Play requires every app to be signed with a keystore – a security file that proves updates really come from you. AppNatively gives you two ways to get one in place.

Steps

1. Go to Credentials

Open Settings → Credentials.

2. Choose your Keystore Source

  • Upload Keystore File – bring your own keystore file (a .jks file), along with its Keystore Password, Key Alias, and Key Password.
  • Generate with AppNatively – a secure keystore is created and stored for you automatically. No file to manage yourself.

3. Save your changes

Critical: don’t change this after your first upload
