hi

To add more info on WM20 I never use signature I always was using generic signature just to go get the apk, for WM23 I use the same option just to update this but, I can't because of this warning.

Thanks

Hi

I guess I can't solve this problem so...

There's a way to save my info I have on that? I can't open my app because I have some issues with the DB so the app crash.
I can't create a new version of the app because the WM23 have different generic signature of WM20 so I can't copy my files from default one.
Could it be a way to access my .Fic files from default path of my device?.

Hello. The format of the signature keys changed at the end of 2017. Read this http://faq.pcsoft.fr/15769-apk_android_signature_jks_format_proprietaire-read.awp

Maybe that's why the signature key had to be changed in WM23.

if I follow everything they said on this link, could I changed the signatured? I think it's not possible, the app was publish on google, the app was using for a client right know....

What do you think?


Thanks

Hi. I can only think of the following options:

1) If the device is rooted you can access the application data with applications like Root Explorer or similar.

2) If it still works in WM20, update the application with a module that creates a zip file of the data or copies the data to a public folder on the device or sends the data to a server. That way even if you remove the application from the device to update the signature the data will be safe in another location.

Hi Ruben

Thanks for the reply!

1) No I can not do that.
2) it's not possible to do it, my key for WM20 was updated to WM23 so it won't work.

I send an email to PCSoft and they said that maybe if I change the 1SHA on the advance option when I generated my apk maybe it could work but they are not sure.


Thanks

Hi. With your dongles upgraded to Wx23 you can use any older version. You should therefore be able to use WM20 without any problem.

As for updating the key, the problem is that installing the new Android version will uninstall the old one and almost certainly remove your data as well.

A greeting

Hi Rubén

Thanks for the reply

Yes, that's the thing I don't want to happend...So I guess I will not be able to have the data of the device only, uninstall the app and lose all the data.
