I lost my .keystore file?

Question

Ok folks.. long story short, I was developing on a computer that I no longer have access to. I was able to retrieve the source code, but not the .keystore file used to sign

Answer 1

If you know your keystore password, you still don't have the associated private key to sign your app. You also have no chance to generate the same private key which corresponds to your public key.

Therefore: Always backup your keystore file. It's as important as your source code.
