- Hi Nathan,
- Thanks for contacting Google Play Developer Support.
- Now that we’ve verified your account, I’m happy to help you reset your upload key. The new upload key will be used to sign APKs that you upload to Play.
- Here’s how to generate and register a new upload key:
- Follow the instructions in the Android Studio Help Center to generate a new key. It must be different from any previous keys. Alternatively, you can use the following command line to generate a new key:
- keytool -genkeypair -alias upload -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 9125 -keystore keystore.jks
- This key must be a 2048 bit RSA key and have 25-year validity.
- Export the certificate for that key to PEM format:
- keytool -export -rfc -alias upload -file upload_certificate.pem -keystore keystore.jks
- Reply to this email and attach the upload_certificate.pem file.
- I look forward to your response. Please let me know if you have any questions in the meantime.
- Regards,
- Bella

- Me:
- Hello Bella,
- Sorry, I don't quite understand, so do I do them steps on a new project in android studio or... I don't have the original apps project files.
- Bella:
- Hi Developer,
- Thanks for your reply.
- The only thing I need is the .pem file, you may decide if you need to generate a new project or not.
- I look forward to hearing from you.
- Me:
- Oh right, I’m sorry I misunderstood. I’m out for a day now and don’t she’s access to my computer so is it alright if this can wait until then or will I have to open up a new case?
- Thanks,
- Nathan
- Bella:
- Hi Nathan,
- I just wanted to check in that if you still want to reset your upload certificate.
- If yes, please reply with the .pem file and I’d be happy to help.
- Me:
- Yes sorry, I think I've got it, hope it works. (with attachment of the upload certificate)
- Bella:
- Hi Nathan,
- Good news - I was able to register your new upload key. Make sure to update your keystores in the following locations:
- Local machine
- Locked on-site server (varying ACLs)
- Cloud machine (varying ACLs)
- Dedicated secrets management services
- (git) repos
- The new key will be usable from: 2018-07-19 02:16:52 UTC
- Thanks for your patience during this process, and please let me know if you have any other questions.
- Me:
- Great! Thank you for your help.
- So that would mean I can upload a dummy app using that key so I can unpublish it from the play store?
- Bella:
- Hi Nathan,
- Thanks for your reply.
- Yes, you will be able to signed it with your new APK now. And you will be able to upload it after 2018-07-20 07:34:38 UTC.
- After your new version be processed by our system, please unpublish it and contact us after 24hours.
- Please let me know if you have any other questions. I'd like to help.
- Me:
- Thank you so much for the help - sorry again.
- Will do, do I contact you again or just start another ticket?
- Bella:
- Hi Nathan,
- Thanks for your reply.
- Since this ticket is for reseting your upload certificate. In order to track your issue much easier, I suggest you open a new ticket for your app deletion request.
