Can not sign app bundle Google Play

Kid 0

Hello, I am appriciate if some one can help me figure out what problem, this is first time I use Net Maui to deploy Android app.

I create new app on Play Console, and choose Use Google-generated key to create new key
in Setup/**App signing **I notice the Download certificate in App signing key certificate, I downloaded deployment_cert.der and use cmd keytool -importcert -file deployment_cert.der -keystore mykeystore.keystore -alias myalias, with easy password: 123456. After that I recieved a file mykeystore.keystore, I checked file again to make sure it does not corrupt by keytool -list -v -keystore mykeystore.keystore, by password 123456. it show SHA-256 certificate fingerprint is same as in Play Console.
Open Visual Studio and Publish, after archive successfuly, choose Distribute->Ad Hoc->Import->fill path to mykeystore.keystore, password:123456, alias name as myalias, key passwrod: 123456 -> Save as -> at step 10, I fill password 123456 then error appear:
1. It show "Signing packages failed. Keystore was tempered with, or password was incorrect"
IDE specific: Visual Studio 2022 17.8.4, App was build on Net MAUI 8.0,

Tips: You need to read instructions carefully.

Google Play requires 2 types of AAB bundle upload:

App signing key or App signing certifications, This one should be hold by Google Play as recommend. Google will build aab files to separate apks for devices by app signing key

Upload key or upload certifications, this one is required to upload aab to Google Play, for more secure, to make sure who hold they upload key is able to upload new aab to Play Console. Google said this one is optional, but till need to upload aab to Play Console, dunno why?. You can create this one once at state app signing in Visual Studio..please save the upload key, it is used to upload new aab next time, without the upload key..you can not upload new aab till require Play Console reset upload key => that mean user already installed your app can not receive the update, they must uninstall and re-install new one.

Cheer!

Please refer to this document: Publish an Android app for Google Play distribution step by step to release your application, will you get the same error?

As note: for the step7, you have an existing signing identity, it can be used by selecting the Import button.
