Default keystore file does not exist?
android, java, keystore
Solution
You must be providing the wrong path to the `debug.keystore` file.
Follow these steps to get the correct path and complete your command:
- In eclipse, click the Window menu -> Preferences -> Expand Android -> Build
- In the right panel, look for: Default debug keystore:
- Select the entire box next to the label specified in Step 2
And finally, use the path you just copied from Step 3 to construct your command:
For example, in my case, it would be:
C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin>keytool -list -v -keystore "C:\Users\Siddharth Lele.android\debug.keystore" -alias androiddebugkey -storepass android -keypass android
UPDATED:
If you had already followed the steps mentioned above, the only other solution is to delete the `debug.keystore` and let Eclipse recreate it for you.
Step 1: Go to the path where your keystore is stored. In your case, `C:\Users\Suresh\.android\debug.keystore`
Step 2: Close and restart Eclipse.
Step 3 (Optional): You may need to clean your project before the `debug.keystore` is created again.
