Don’t worry - it rebuilds when you rebuild your project. This is where I got the tip: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7698636/error-generating-final-archive-unable-to-get-debug-signature-key If you’re having trouble finding .android directory on your mac, follow these instructions: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6915847/android-eclipse-where-can-i-find-the-users-user-name-android-debug-keystore ….and as @LA reminded me, don’t forget to switch debugging to “false” when running the project again!
