It does list the fingerprint that is needed. How do I, if possible change the fingerprint? Thanks Howard Title Comments Hi, I just tried to upload a new APK for the market and received an error that it was signed with the wrong certificate and fingerprint.

That said, it's looking for the same credentials you used when you created the first APK. your release Keys and stuff. Do you still have those?

I have the release key but it seems that the password is not working or corrupted. I only have one pw for this app. Thanks for the quick response, howard Comments Hi Smug, I thought I did.

Glad you got that worked out. I guess add a new icon? hmm... Cheers! -- Smug Comments Well, an icon is a lot less worrisome than a missing fingerprint, lol! Glad you got that worked out.
