Lost user.keystore file – Need guidance to upload new signing key

[Mohamed Ramadan]

Hello DroidScript Team,

I hope you are doing well.

I have unfortunately lost my user.keystore file that I used to sign my Android application.

The app has already been published on Google Play, and I am concerned about how I can update the application now without the original keystore file.

Could you please guide me on the proper steps to resolve this issue?
Is it possible to generate and use a new signing key? If so, what is the correct process to avoid any problems with future updates?

Thank you very much for your support.

Best regards,
Mohamed Ramadan

Hi, if your app is published as an AAB file, your user.keystore file is usually used as an 'upload key' only and it should be possible to register an new upload key with Google Play.  You might need to talk to Play support, but I suggest you ask ChatGPT if it's possible to change upload key via the Play Console.
