Hi there,

2 years ago I uploaded an app on google play store
the app was built with phonegap built,
it now has quite few downloads and I'm pretty pleased

I received an email from google play asking me to upload the app with new version of cordoba.

I just tried it but I can't remember the details for this keystore file!
I tried to create a new key,
but google paly allow uploads from the very same key only!

since 2 years I don't have the file anymore,
but I'm sure it is in phonegap build server somewhere?

Any help would be much appreciated,
the deadline is the 9th of may!
App ID: 306437

Thank you!

@rorolondon,
Yes, the answer is you are screwed. Next time put the keystore some place secure.

Docs -> Signing -> Android Signing


Note: it is Phonegap Build's policy not to retrieve signing keys for users, for legal reasons. Hold on to them.


Best of Luck
