Xamarin Android Sign App with 2 different computers but same keystore

I'm developing a xamarin android application with 2 different computers.. one at work and one at home.. my first signed version was from my laptop then I transfer my keystore file from my laptop to my workplace computer everything seems to be fine and I can sign the app from my workplace also but when I want to install it on device I get the error.. as it signed with different keystore..

so I need to sign my app only by my laptop to make it work and install on previous versions

is it logical? is it should be like this? so what about if I want to change my laptop :|

Does anyone have any experience with transferring keystore to another computer?

Solution

  • My mistake was that I tried to copy the keystore file to the second machine (for example D drive)... then import the keystore in visual studio...

    I copied the whole keystore folder from

    C:\Users\firstMachine\AppData\Local\Xamarin\Mono for Android\Keystore...

    to

    C:\Users\secondMachine\AppData\Local\Xamarin\Mono for Android\Keystore...

    and it's working now

    Thanks to guys for comments
