I'm confused with an issue that I'm getting with Eclipse's Android app compilation. At first, I created an app and a new keystore using the Android Tools -> Export signed Application package.
This created two files: application.apk and application (no file format).
Then I try to compile another app with this "application" file, which I assume is the keystore, because it's only a few kb in size and has cryptic characters inside.
Then I get the error "keystore was tampered with, or password was incorrect". I'm fairly sure I couldn't have forgot the password. Now, is a keystore supposed to be a file without a specified filetype?
I haven't published my app on Google Play yet, it's just a draft, so I assume that I can just try to make a new keystore, and compile both apps again?
when you made the keystore, you made an actual file. I'm not sure whatthe "application" is you are refering to, but when you make a keystore, you select a place to save it.
I think, but don't know if it is enforced, the default naming scheme is "xxx.keystore". So look for that file (or create a new one), and use that as keystore.
In your case, the file you use as keystore is probably something else, so it is "tampered with" (aka: not a keystore)
