Google Play Store

Hey everyone,

There's always gotta be something when creating a production release to Google Play Console :')

So as far as I can tell, i have followed the instructions fairly precisely on how to export for android: https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/getting_started/workflow/export/exporting_for_android.html

I've done both the debug.keystore and the one for Exporting to Google Play Store.

The error that I'm seeing in Google Play Console is: You uploaded an APK with an invalid signature (learn more about signing). Error from apksigner: ERROR (Jar signer TAPKNIGH.RSA): Failed to verify JAR signature META-INF/TAPKNIGH.RSA against META-INF/TAPKNIGH.SF: java.security.SignatureException: APKs with Signed Attributes broken on platforms with API Level < 19

I tried reading some of the docs here: https://developer.android.com/studio/publish/app-signing -- though for this particular error i didn't see anything helpful.

In the Godot command prompt, after I complete my export, i see the following warnings which may be related, but im not sure how to get rid of. Googling was not very helpful either.

p.s. in the export settings i do have the signed checkbox checked, and all those settings are populated as per the instructions in the android export docs.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm finally going to release Tap Knight, and i was scheduled to do so on Saturday ._.' I hope i can resolve this by then.

Thanks!

What version of Godot are you using? It could be that you have outdated export templates, I thought the most recent ones were supported by Google Play.

@cybereality Hi thank you for responding! I have version 3.2.3 Admittedly i did not think that this would be a problem. I had a bad experience in the past updating the software right before releasing something and things going haywire >_<' But that aside, if you think this version is likely the issue, i will gladly try to update it

cybereality

Yeah, I would recommend updating. Just be sure to backup the project first in case something goes wrong.

@cybereality The issue must be fixed! I now see a different issue which i currently do not have time to fully look into what i did wrong, but seems relatively more easy to fix.

I did have to do a couple of things after updating Godot, but it was relatively easy stuff.

P.S. If you've seen that new error and can point me in the right direction i'd appreciate it :) You've saved the day already though <3

Maybe you signed with the debug cert? I think you need a release cert.

If those SHA sums are meant to be secret, I suggest munging them better. :)

Hey everyone, I was able to get rid of the errors mentioned above :) downloading the latest Godot build and exporting from it was the solution, and then the error i saw afterwards was due to having made a new keystore file thinking that that might be the solution. Luckily i did not delete the old one and kept it. So I used my backed up .keystore, and that got rid of the error.

Thanks everyone, and especially @cybereality !
