sign with my key problem

Hello,
iI followed the tutorial to create a key, but when I save the application it asks me the keystore and the password, and private key password.
I do not know how to solve this problem, I'm looking on the forum and google but I can not find the answer.
With version 5.5 everything was ok.
I'm on mac osx lion v LiveCode. 6.1.1
Thank you in advance for your help.
Best regards
Boris

Hello,
I have found :
when creating the key with keytool, it asks you to create a password for the keystore, and then to the public key, do not put the same password, and voila it works for me.
Best regards.

Thank you, useful info. BTW, what is the difference between the first password and the second one?

However you can't install it on an Android device, there is the following bug

MaxV, I'm using LiveCode Commercial 6.5 (rc 7) and also 6.5.1 on Windows - I use Jarsigner rather than LiveCode to sign my APKs (choose "Do not sign" in your standalone application settings) and these install fine on a variety of Android devices. Might be worth trying?

I just tried with:
Code: Select all
jarsigner.exe -keystore mykey.keystore MyApp.apk myAlias
but it doesn't work...
Please, may you upload a working example?
Which
jdk do you have?

MaxV, I'm using JDK 1.6
I understand there's a new version of LiveCode (6.5.2) so perhaps the signing issue has been resolved ... ?
When using Jarsigner you may wish to include the folder path to your keystore and APK like this for example:
jarsigner -verbose -keystore C:\folder\mykey.keystore C:\folder\myapp.apk myalias

I used JDK 1.7.0_10 and JDK 1.7.0_51, both create an uninstallable APK. This is what I get from jarsigner:
Code: Select all
C:\Programmi\Java\jdk1.7.0_51\bin>jarsigner.exe -verbose -keystore esempio.keystore MarkDownEditor.apk sviluppo
Enter Passphrase for keystore:
Enter key password for sviluppo:
adding: META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
adding: META-INF/SVILUPPO.SF
adding: META-INF/SVILUPPO.RSA
signing: res/drawable/icon.png
signing: res/drawable/notify_icon.png
signing: res/layout/livecode_inputcontrol.xml
signing: AndroidManifest.xml
signing: resources.arsc
signing: classes.dex
signing: lib/armeabi/librevandroid.so
jar signed.
Warning:
No -tsa or -tsacert is provided and this jar is not timestamped. Without a timestamp, users may not be able to validate this jar after the signer certificate's expiration date (2041-06-18) or after any future revocation date.
Then I try to install on device and I get "NOT INSTALLED"!
I'll double check with JDK 1.6

SOLVED.
JDk 1.7 messes signing process, so you have to declare the old (JDK1.6) sign mode, here is the correct code to sign:
Code: Select all
jarsigner.exe -sigalg MD5withRSA -digestalg SHA1 -verbose -keystore myKey.keystore myApp.apk myalias
WOW!!!!
