Market upload error "You uploaded an APK that is signed with a different certificate to your previous APK"

[Yaniv]

Hi,
My application uploaded to the market and while I'm trying to upload newer version I'm getting the following error:
"You uploaded an APK that is signed with a different certificate to your previous APK".
The 1st version was generated using appery autogenerated key with all related info,
Now while doing it again I'm failing with above error.
Based on the posts that I found under "getsatisfaction" I can see that original credential can be identified from the backup file, I have no backup file.

How can I get the original values?

Hello Yaniv!

Choose the app in Your Apps list and make its backup.

Then follow this post https://getsatisfaction.com/apperyio/...

Hi,
Thanks for the quick replay,
I have no "autogenerated" word under metadata.xml.
I application shared, Applciation name: ShuvaIsrael

p.s. isn't it auto-generated the password each time appery editor loaded? (this is what I can see under Android Binary tab)

[Yaniv]

One more thing, I don't have the "release" version saved, only the one that NOT marked as released

[Yaniv]

Any update?
I want to know if the information can be restored, if yes, how. If no, how can I create my own .crt file (currently I unpublished the application till get answer for above)

Hello Yaniv,

Sorry for delay. We need time till Monday to investigate this issue.

GM, any update?
BTW as I said I notice that i'm getting new certificate/password each time the editor is open, but if this is the case how Appery application generation WAS working perfect but this information cannot be recover?

Hi Yaniv,

Have a look at this page of the official documentation about signing the application certificate.
http://developer.android.com/tools/pu...

You need to generate a certificate and upload it to Appery.io to build applications based on it. Automatically generated certificate is only a temporary measure to test the application, but not for Productions.

If you need your certificate we can send you the one created 06/13/2013. To receive it send a request to a href="mailto:support@appery.io" rel="nofollow"support@appery.io/a please.

In my case the original certificate cannot be restored so with Appery team assistance I generated a new certificate.
So in case you want to generate your own certificate (with .crt ext as Appery tool requires) use the following command:
keytool.exe -genkey -v -keystore yourCertificateName.crt -alias yourAliasName -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000

That's it! Don't forget to save your certificate and passwords in safe place!

I tried to follow the insturctions on second post, but I cannot find the "autogenerate" word in metadata.xml, can you help me out?
