The good news is I finally got the APK! Bad news is I signed it with the wrong keystore!

You can find a video at the bottom of the page and a link to the source code here.

I logged into the Google Play Console to update the Travel app’s latest APK bundle. When I attempted to upload the new APK bundle, I got a warning saying the APK was signed with the wrong keystore (click below).

The keystore is a distinct file used to update an app’s APK for new releases. Developers have to use the same keystore file each time they wish to generate a new APK bundle. This authenticates the bundle in the Google Play Console.

When I first learned how to generate an APK bundle, I made quite a few keystores. Unfortunately, I forgot which one I used to generate the initial APK bundle.

I tried generating a new bundle with each of the keystores, but I can’t remember their passwords either. No password means no bundle. If I can’t remember the passwords,  I may end up having to resubmit the app with a new APK instead.

I’ll do more research and find a solution so I can move forward with this project.
