Android Distribution Restricted Certificate


I'm using AIDE (The Android IDE) on my tablet to develop Android applications. I paid the $25 developer fee and went to submit my free app in today (Made in HTMl5/Cordova/PhoneGap), and well I got this error. enter image description here

Any help on how to solve this problem will be greatly appreciated.


Solution

  • First you need to create your own key store. To do this, open the menu, click More > Export Apk.

    Then select Create Key store and follow the steps - just make sure that the validity is more than 30 years. Click Create

    Then click Export Apk again. Click Export and type in the password for your key store. Click OK. You have now exported your app! DO NOT DELETE YOUR KEYSTORE you will need it to update your app. Infact I would recommend backing it up.
