    I meant you should try investigating it :) And then explain us how to fix it.

  • RASHID_AB It's obvious now that nobody on the forum knows how to solve this. If you think that Construct creates a key in the wrong format, which is no longer supported by Google Play, you need to log a bug report:

    https://github.com/Scirra/Construct-3-bugs/issues

    Otherwise you can try researching this issue in the internet how to generate a proper v2 key. And if you find the solution, post it here for the benefit of others.

    My workaround was to change the target version to 29. Export as Cordova project, extract files and change target version from 30 to 29 in config.json and config.xml

    Then package back to zip and build with C3 through Export Manager.

    This is only a temporary workaround, I'm afraid Google Play will soon no longer accept SDK 29.

    I agree with you, just reducing the Target SDK is just a temporary solution.

    Of course, you need to invest effort in solving this issue, I think everyone wants to understand this and solve it as needed)

    Hello. Thank you for writing.

    Now, the question of how to sign an APK application using the built-in Construct 3 tool has become very acute.

    As you can see from what is happening now, there is a problem related to the fact that the application signing tool APK when creating a key and also when signing with a key, the key password and alias password are automatically inserted into the same field (as I understand it) inside the key.jks, and then the key that is created has an invisible error. This error does not allow signing applications with another key that was created outside the Construct boundary. That is, I can no longer sign the application with a key that was created in another application.

    Could you intensify your search for a solution to this issue, which, as I understand it, has been present for a long time?

    I repeat, the Construct 3 game creation tool is simply gorgeous and irreplaceable, for me personally, the tool is an ideal tool for creating games or something else.

    Especially when you are so diligently supplementing it with new features with new examples of new behavior plugins.

    Apart from small mistakes and problems that you diligently solve almost every day, the tool is simply gorgeous.

    But now the problem that is present in my opinion is very much stopping me and other developers. In general, I personally do not know much about deep programming, it may be very difficult for you, but still, you really need to solve this))

  • From what I can remember you can change you alias password like this

    Download Java

    When downloaded got to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_121\bin

    You must be powershell user.

    Use the keytool to change like in this tutorial https://blog.blundellapps.co.uk/tut-change-alias-passwords-of-your-android-keystore/

    Hope this helps, but how to do this might have changed, since its a while ago I used this.

    But this will not solve the very problem of signing an application in the middle of Construct 3.

    Yes, changing to edit a key is one thing, but the key that I have is linked to Google play.

    I just need to sign my application with a key using the v2 scheme, unless, of course, I understood correctly, the signature scheme is not inside the key itself, that is, the key may be the same, but I understand the signature scheme for target 30 correctly?

    I write through a translator, which is probably why my text expressions are a bit incorrect.

    I mean that Construct 3, when creating a key, uses a password where you need to write a password and where Alias ​​password is.

    That is, the password is written in two places at once.

    Perhaps therefore also, the password that was created in Android Studio is not signed when it is used in Construct 3 /

  • This is probably why my old key is not signed in the Construct 3 compilation environment when I write the password there.

    What can developers do about it?

  • Problem

    It turns out

    The key created in Construct 3 uses the same password in two places!

    Because of this, the signature does not work!

    I just signed the application in APK Signer 1.8.5 using the key that was generated in Construct 3.

    And you know what?

    The password must be written in two places.

    Whereas before, the Alias ​​password was different when I signed it with Apk Signer 1.8.5!

    This is a mistake what is this?

    it should be?

  • Dear developers, please forgive your concern.

    I am not claiming that I am doing everything right, that is why I am here and food, because I am looking for a solution.

    Could you extend the functionality of the app signing tools?

    Construct 3 is a great tool, I am very happy, I am very satisfied!

    But there are such stupid situations that greatly upset us.

  • Please check it yourself, if you don't trust me, it is impossible to sign the application using my key, which I have always used with APK signer 1.8.5 in the Construct 3 environment

    That is, you can create new keys, you can do whatever you want, but if it is not created in Construct 3 then this key is not valid.

  • Dear Construct 3 Developers

    Could you come here now to answer a couple of questions?

    Please, I ask you to pay attention to this situation.

    Question: why can't you sign the application using the old ready-made key that always worked before target sdk 30 appeared?

    I poked a lot everywhere in the middle of Construct 3. Why does Construct 3 standard signature not work when used?

    Is it generally possible to use the old key in order to use it to sign applications using the V2 signature scheme

    Is there a difference between the previously created key and the new one, that is, the signature scheme v1 and v2 is a secondary signature that uses the standard key?
