I want to upload my first APK/app to the Android Market, but I got this error (which did not lead me to the correct link when searched for in stackoverflow, by the way).
Market does not accept apks signed with the debug certificate. Create a new certificate that is valid for at least 50 years. Market requires that the certificate used to sign the apk be valid until at least October 22, 2033. Create a new certificate.
Though it turns out this question is similar, the guy just says "Oh, you reminded me of how to do it" without actually explaining. I've looked at the website referred to in the "answer", but here's my problem:
- I don't know where my keytool tool is. The Android site is pretty vague; I don't see "keytool" of any sort in my ..\android-sdk-windows\tools directory.
- I think I've done this before, but I wish I had a set of steps that is like "Open up a command prompt, navigate to the directory where keytool is, enter in command 'xyz -flagsforxyz', and then point to the keystore from the 'export release apk' option in Eclipse"... or something similar.
I hope you can tell that I've tried a few things already! I might just be overlooking something simple -- so it's time for the steps to be recorded in stackoverflow! Thanks for your help.
