If you want to release an update of the same app, you're going to need to sign with the same key. They don't change by themselves; hopefully it's just a syntax error that you can overcome. And it may not matter, but I really like using the Eclipse Keytool, it makes working with them much easier. http://keytool.sourceforge.net/ Cheers! -- Smug

Thanks Smug Thankfully i remembered to double backup the key (i didnt remember if i did this at first) and used the backup key.. For some reason the key i was using was modified???? Oh well it works now.. I now triple backed up the key. I was sweating on this... wow (by the way smug) I am using the blank page plugin that is helping me with my issue i had yesterday with file not downloaded error.. I need to switch the rest of pages to local now) Also i am looking for someone to help test my android app.. I loaded push notifications in the app and i cant test because i dont have android...

I have an android tablet; it's not cellular, but if it can work, I'm happy to test for you. Cheers! -- Smug

Oh, yeah it has wifi. I use it to test all my android projects, but I can't text or call. I can only email. Otherwise, it's an Android :) Cheers! -- Smug

Triple backing up the keystore is an awesome idea! Those things seem so fragile, for some reason. Glad it got worked out! Mark

Thanks mark .. I read your forum posts and I backed up earlier.. Glad I did now.. No idea why it modified but I would have been done without the backup BT should but a how to paper out and it just says backup up your keys
