Unable to Import Existing Keystore

Question

Trying to distrubute/sign the apk and need to reimport my keystore. It doesn't show up anymore, not sure if it disappears because of the windows 11 update or visual studios updates, on 16.11.10. When I try to import it I get "There was an error import the key"

Answer 1

Existing keystore doesn't seem to like my password. Ended up having to go back to an old jks keyfile that was converted years ago, it had a password with an @ symbol in it so changed the password on it and renamed the file to .keystore and it finally worked. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
