Two people have purchased it. I was trying to upload a new version with correct icon but when I try to use the existing keystore, I get a message that it was either tampered with or I'm using the wrong password. I'm sure the pw is correct. Went back on time machine and replaced the keystore on my desktop with the one that was there a day after it was created. Still no good. If I cant do this I can see no choice but unpublish the app, then upload it again starting from scratch. I could give the two people a refund and explain to them the reason (android developer console seems to let you do this). I see no other alternative. Any suggestions?

If the play store doesn't do anything like that, I'd say just provide an APK for them outside the Play Store.

Though I prefer Apple stuff, in general, with packaging and uploading apps, Android beats them by a mile. Steve Comments Went ahead and just refunded and reloaded. Actually pretty easy.

I also believe, not positive, you will have to create a new App with a different name with a new keystore.
