retrieve keystore password from appcelerator studio

Question

Due to an accident I lost my keystore password - but I still can distribute it to google play store, because it is still stored somewhere in appcelerators config files.

When I publish it, the alias password is visible in the log, not masked... but unfortunately the keystore password is masked.

Is there a way to retrieve the keystore password from studio?

Answer 1

You're in luck. Because Appcelerator indeed stores the keystore information you can retrieve it. Not in Studio though, but the password is saved in the .settings folder inside your project folder. The .settings folder is a hidden folder.

To be exact, you can find it in this file:

/myProjectDirectory/.settings/com.appcelerator.titanium.android.core.prefs
