While reading the manual, I created the keystore file and set it as a build target.
And when I run the build Android build I get an “Unable to find keystore alias” error. I would like to know where I should fix it.apk,aab builds both have the same result.
I saw the error on Windows 10 and the Defold Engine version is 1.2.174.
Which alias did you set when you created the keystore?
You can check the contents of your keystore using the commandline (requires Java and the keytool command on the path):
keytool -v -list -keystore my.keystore
This should show something like this:
$ > keytool -v -list -keystore defold.keystore
Enter keystore password:
Keystore type: PKCS12
Keystore provider: SUN
Your keystore contains 1 entry
Alias name: defold
Creation date: 24 Aug 2020
Entry type: PrivateKeyEntry
Certificate chain length: 1
.
.
.
If you bundle with bob.jar it’s possible to specify the keystore alias to use like this:
java -jar bob.jar --keystore=my.keystore --keystore-alias=myalias --keystore-pass=password.txt ...
When bundling from the editor or if you don’t provide a keystore alias the bundler code will list the aliases and use the first encountered alias:
I executed the command you gave me.
C:\Users\stepi\Downloads\Mobile game>keytool -v -list -keystore mykeystore.keystore
Enter keystore password:
Keystore type: PKCS12
Keystore provider: SUN
Your keystore contains 1 entry
Alias name: myalias
Creation date: 10/13/2020
Entry type: PrivateKeyEntry
Certificate chain length: 1
We have created a keystore with the same parameters as the example in the manual.
keytool -genkey -v -noprompt -dname "CN=John Smith, OU=Area 51, O=US Air Force, L=Unknown, ST=Nevada, C=US" -keystore mykeystore.keystore -storepass 5Up3r_53cR3t -alias myAlias -keyalg RSA -validity 9125
The error occurred when bundling from the editor.Maybe you need JDK11?
The keytool is used from the Engine.
No we bundle JDK 11 with the editor. What if you check the editor log? Help->Show Logs and open the most recent log file. You should see something like:

Try running that exact command line from a prompt:
/Applications/Defold.app/Contents/Resources/packages/jdk11.0.1-p1/bin/keytool -list -keystore /Users/bjornritzl/projects/certificates-defold/android/defold.keystore -storepass PASSWORD -rfc
Does it successfully show the contents of the keystore?

When run on the command line, the contents of the keystore appear to be correct.
Ah, the returned information has labels in Japanese. And that will not work since the code is looking for the string “Alias name”. I’ve created a ticket (https://github.com/defold/defold/issues/5273) to track this issue and will try to include a fix in the next release.
You can work around the problem by bundling using bob.jar (download from d.defold.com) and specifying the alias:
java -jar bob.jar -v --archive --platform=armv7-android --bundle-format=apk --keystore=my.keystore --keystore-pass=keystore-password.txt --keystore-alias=myalias build bundle
Thank you! I’m happy to see that this will be resolved in the next release.
still the same error. Any solution ?
All known issues with keystore builds have been resolved as far as I know. The only problem we have is if you use different passwords for the keystore and the key. This will be solved in 1.2.182.
Can you please share the steps you have done and the error you are getting? Include as much info as possible (https://defold.com/manuals/getting-help/#required-information).
Problem is, when i saved my password.txt file UTF-8 format. (Project->Bundle->Android Application : Bundle format : APK “Unable to find keystore alias”)
But, if password.txt file ANSI format. "Failed creating universal APK"
Also Bundle format : AAB working well.
Used : Defold\packages\jdk11.0.1-p1\bin\keytool.exe
keytool -genkey -v -noprompt -dname “CN=John Smith, OU=Area 51, O=US Air Force, L=Unknown, ST=Nevada, C=US” -keystore mykeystore.keystore -storepass defold -alias myAlias -keyalg RSA -validity 9125
password.txt file
defold
Engine Version : 1.2.180
universal_apk_error.txt (5.4 KB)
Sorry for the very slow response here. We will change how the keystore password is used. We will pass the file with the password directly to the Android bundletool instead of loading it and then sending it. This will remove a source of potential encoding problems. This change is handled by this pull request which should end up in the next version of Defold:
Hello guys, just run to this error (Unable to find keystore alias) in 188. I have created keystore with command from Defold development for the Android platform.

Ok, I check the keystore aliases using this command:
keytool -v -list -keystore mykeystore.keystore
I get the following error:
keytool error: java.io.IOException: Integrity check failed: java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException: Algorithm HmacPBESHA256 not available
java.io.IOException: Integrity check failed: java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException: Algorithm HmacPBESHA256 not available
So it seems like the keystore isn’t using an algorithm known to the Java version in the editor or the one I have (JDK11). Which version of Java are you using?
I just run keytool from terminal, java version probably this
openjdk 16.0.1 2021-04-20
OpenJDK Runtime Environment AdoptOpenJDK-16.0.1+9 (build 16.0.1+9)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM AdoptOpenJDK-16.0.1+9 (build 16.0.1+9, mixed mode, sharing)
I have tried keytool from defold install directory and now all works fine. Thanks for help!
Yeah, this is probably the problem. I have OpenJDK 11 installed (because it’s what we use in Defold).
With new defold updates is fixed the problem, thank you defold team.
