How can I generate an Android Keystore from a key.pk8 and certificate.pem?
13,570
Ok, So I eventually managed to solve the problem.
I downloaded openssl for windows from here
Keytool can be found at E:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_17\bin
Then using keytool and openssl managed to build the key.pk8 and certificate.pem into a keystore entry
openssl pkcs8 -inform DER -nocrypt -in key.pk8 -out key.pem
openssl pkcs12 -export -in certificate.pem -inkey key.pem -out platform.p12 -password pass:android -name mykey
keytool -importkeystore -deststorepass password -destkeystore .keystore -srckeystore platform.p12 -srcstoretype PKCS12 -srcstorepass android
keytool -list -v -keystore .keystore
The last step is just to verify that the key has been added to the keystore.

So today I finally update my SDK to 22.0.0 however this creates an error in the AndroidManifest.xml for
android:debuggable="false"
which means I can no longer externally sign and zipalign my own apks.I have been signing using my own key.pk8 and certificate.pem, however eclipse ADT requires a keystore.
Does anyone know a way to either build a keystore using my already generated key or find some way around this?

Jinghao Shi almost 10 yearsIn first step, if the input pk8 file has a password, remove the
-nocrypt
option, openssl will prompt password input. -
Basher51 almost 10 years@SamShute: From where did you get the .pk8 and .pem certificates? Can I search and find them on my android device's OS files?
