Hi all,

I am on a Mac. No problem to create and use my Android application for development.

Now, I tried to create my Android application in order to publish it.

First, I created a personal key with key tool (./keytool -genkey -v -keystore /Users/moi/Documents/MyKey -alias TicTacToe -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000
): no problem, the MyKey file was created without errors.

Now, in the standalone application settings, I checked "Sign with my key" and showed my key.

I added an icon which was a 128x128 png.

It asks "Please provide the keystone alias to use" and "Please provide the keystone password" and the APK was created with "Standalone application saved sucessfully"

I zipaligned the APK.

When I tried to import this APK on the PlayStore, it says:

Veuillez ajouter une icône à votre APK
Please add an icon to your APK

How do I continue?

Thanks

128x128 is a nonstandard size. I usually use 96x96 and I haven't had any trouble. Other standard sizes are 144x144, 192x192 and 512x512. I haven't tried those but they might work too. The 96 pixel icon resizes automatically on all devices and seems to look okay to me.

Thanks Jacqueline,

Now, no error message about the icon (96x96)...

All is fine now, except that I must enter my phone number. It says that the format is incorrect. What's the syntax? I am from Belgium and I tried 32xxxyyyyyy.

Best

Where does it require a phone number? I don't remember needing to enter that.

Forum regulars are not likely to abuse the number but harvesters might add you to a phonespammer database. I would suggest you remove your personal information above.

I agree with SparkOut, I'd remove the personal phone number.

Sorry for the phone number.

When I create my application, I must fill many fields. My language is French. I will translate them in English.

I see, you are entering info for the Play Store. I thought you meant the keystore. I'm not sure what format they require, I think you need to write to Google support. Is the phone number required? Maybe you can just leave it empty.

Yes the phone number is required. It refuses to leave it empty.

Nobody of you had entered this phone number?

I don't remember, the last app I put on the Play Store was a long time ago. All the others have been for clients and distributed privately. But I am in the US and the format of the phone number would be one that Google accepts. I don't know what they require for non-US phone numbers, but there must be a way because they have developers from all over the world.

@guylouis - there have indeed be quite a few changes in Google Play recently - try entering your phone number with a leading "+" before your country code

I tried all combinations...

weird - I've just amended a phone number in Google Play with this format: [+11][2222][333333]

Where [+11] is the country code, [2222] is the area code, and [333333] is the actual phone number - if that doesn't work then contract Google Play

Thanks. But it remains incorrect. I will try the support.

All is fine now. My application is on the Play Store.

Thanks all for the help.
