SHA-1 fingerprint of keystore certificate

Question

Is the method for getting an SHA-1 fingerprint the same as the method of getting the fingerprint? Previously, I was running this command:

It's not clear to me if the result I'm getting is the SHA-1 fingerprint. Can somebody clarify this?

Solution 1

Follow this tutorial for creating SHA1 fingerprint for Google Map v2

For Debug mode:

keytool -list -v -keystore ~/.android/debug.keystore -alias androiddebugkey -storepass android -keypass android 

for Release mode:

keytool -list -v -keystore {keystore_name} -alias {alias_name}

example:

keytool -list -v -keystore C:\Users\MG\Desktop\test.jks -alias test

On windows, when keytool command is not found, Go to your installed JDK Directory e.g. <YourJDKPath>\Java\jdk1.8.0_231\bin\, open command line and try the above commands for debug/release mode.

Another way of getting your SHA1 OR SHA-256 use ./gradlew signingReport

For more detailed info visit Using Gradle's Signing Report

Solution 2

If you are using android studio use simple step

1. Run your project
2. Click on Gradle menu
3. Expand Gradle Tasks tree
4. Double click on android -> signingReport and see the magic
5. It will tell you everything on the Run tab

Result Under Run Tab If Android Studio < 2.2

From android studio 2.2
Result will be available under Run console but use highlighted toggle button

Or
Second Way is
Create new project in android studio New -> Google Maps Activity

then open google_maps_api.xml xml file as shown in pics you will see your SHA key

Solution 3

Easiest way for getting SHA1 Key in android studio both (Debug and release Mode)

1. Open Android Studio
2. Open Your Project
3. Click on Gradle (From Right Side Panel, you will see Gradle Bar)
4. Click on Refresh (Click on Refresh from Gradle Bar , you will see List Gradle scripts of your Project)
5. Click on Your Project (Your Project Name form List)
6. Click on Tasks/Android
7. Double Click on signingReport (You will get SHA1 and MD5 in Run Bar)

If you are using new Android Studio it shows time to execute on top there is Toggle task execution mode click on that you will get you SHA-1 key. Check 2nd and 3rd reference images.

Generate SHA-1 for Release Mode

1-First add keystore config in your gradle How to add config in gradle.

2-After Adding Config in gradle change build variant.

3-Then Follow Above Procedure you will get SHA-1 for release mode.

4-Check Image.

Solution 4

Go to your java bin directory via the cmd:

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_25\bin>

Now type in the below comand in your cmd:

keytool -list -v -keystore "c:\users\your_user_name\.android\debug.keystore" -alias androiddebugkey -storepass android -keypass android 

Solution 5

If you are using eclipse, go to: Window->Preferences->Android->Build You will find what you are looking there.

Easiest way to Get SHA-1 For Release and Debug mode android studio gradle. Check this

[Akhilesh Sinha]

run this command in your terminal: keytool -exportcert -list -v \ -alias androiddebugkey -keystore ~/.android/debug.keystore. It will ask for your keystore password. which you can find from the file named "debug.keystore.properties" in the android/keystore folder

~/ is your home directory in *nix systems. Under Windows, just use %USERPROFILE%

[Jay Sidri]

If you're writing Android apps on Xamarin, use this: keytool -list -v -keystore "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Xamarin\Mono for Android/debug.keystore" -alias androiddebugkey -storepass android -keypass android

[ssj3goku878]

this will do the job instead of going through the hassle of exporting and using CMD

[Vincent]

Works great! I have included both a DEBUG and a RELEASE key in console.developer.google.com. Not sure if both are really needed. Nevertheless it works great, after spending 4 hours on this G**gle feature.

[LairdPleng]

My 'gradle projects' window is empty... any ideas why that might be?

[Lokesh Tiwari]

It will appear once you run the project either in emulator or on device

[LairdPleng]

Yea I tried that but nothing happened. Seems as though, in my case, I had to press the 'refresh' button before anything showed up!

[user207421]

Nothing to do with certificates whatsoever.

[danypata]

For all Android devs, this is quite an easy way to find the SHA1. Nice finding man.

[Anwar Hossain]

is sha1 key same for all the apps? or different for every app?

[Lokesh Tiwari]

@anwar Hossain Every time you generate SHA1 It can be different every time irrespective of app. I have tried two different days it has given me different

[danypata]

@LokeshTiwari I think on Android Studio 2.1 the signReport task is in Tasks -> android

[عثمان غني]

how to get release sha1. I am getting it from my app.jks but console.google is showing its already used.

[OneCricketeer]

How is your answer different than those provided? stackoverflow.com/a/38369406/2308683

[Lokesh Tiwari]

@AdnanAli Thank you for pointing out. Yes it is available in 2.2 but use Toggle button in Run Console check updated pic

[portfoliobuilder]

Where can I find the equivalent on Android Studio? My IDE is pointing to the wrong SHA1

[portfoliobuilder]

How to change the location? I know how to change to a different keystore when signing, but what about the default one?

[Maveňツ]

plus 1 for toggle task execution/text mode :D

[gpuser]

Another way you can get this certification detail for debug mode from (1)Right click on Gradle bar at android studio (2)then click on app -> Tasks -> android -> signingReports then on Gradle console you will get the reports

[Irfan Raza]

It now appears under "Gradle Console" tab from Android studio 2.2.3

[Shirish Herwade]

very detailed answer with images, helps a lot... very easy to understand than other answers here... up-vote for the images in answer

[Napolean]

$ keytool -list -v -keystore ~/.android/debug.keystore -storepass android only this also works

[statosdotcom]

Agree: best option. "Plused" one. I missed a l little bit more text information, but the main path you've shown. Thank you.

[pblead26]

The google Maps activity idea is the BEST. Thank you

[Sushant Patekar]

1)You have to double click on the filename.

[Shihab Uddin]

If your alias key have space like "App Moon" then add double quation "App Moon" as alias name.

[Lokesh Tiwari]

@onexf go to build variants >> change debug to release

[Himanshu arora]

Look at this to get SHA-1 key using android studio. easybook4u.com/index.php/2017/08/25/…

[ban-geoengineering]

I've followed the steps in this answer and it works great. But how to change the Gradle setting back to whatever it was so that when I click the Run button in Android Studio, it installs and runs the app on my device/emulator as it did previously?

[ban-geoengineering]

...solution to my Run problem here: stackoverflow.com/a/48283047/1617737 .

[Valentin Yuryev]

It's the best solution for Android Developers who work on Windows because keytool is not works in Windows console.

[Ankur Shah]

do you also know how to remove it?

[Emil]

your solution is working fine. why the heck, google official documentation doesnt work? coment defiined here wont execute and return error. developers.google.com/android/guides/client-auth

[Harsha]

after generating releasemode api key for sha1 for google places api for android place picker map opened and closed immediately.In log showing forbidden error 403 please help me

[Harsha]

here showing 2 signin certificates appsignin and uploaded signincertificates.which one i need to use for release

[Eaweb]

Works fine, thanks for this answer. However, I am curious if I can use this to get SHA1 for release key of my app. (the default is debug key)

[Abhishek Mehandiratta]

A true savior! I don't know why the SHA-1 key was different when generated from command prompt and android studio.

[ParSa]

the best and working solution , for google clientID i needed SHA-1 in release mode , other solutions give us the SHA-1 in debug mode

[Sanket Patel]

it shows sha1 for debug, is this same for release variant also ?

[Oliver D]

@SanketPatel are u got the release SHA1?

[Oliver D]

I do it but i dont got the SHA for release !

[Jayakrishnan]

Please make sure you have added sign in credential in the sign in configuration under release block in gradle. Otherwise it wont show release sha key

[Sanket Patel]

nope, actually i resolved my issue so stopped searching for it @Oliver

[Emzor]

After battling with this issue for SEVERAL hours, your answer saved my app's life. THANKS!!!!

[ßiansor Å. Ålmerol]

For release you need to use the App signing certificate

[Jaichander]

Thanks,Saved my Day

[MMG]

Give example for debug please

[Gilian Marques]

I just created a .bat for convenience: ??@echo off ??title SHA-1 from release keystore ??color 0a ??cd C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\jre ??set /p keystorePath= Set the path to the keystore here (just drag it here): ??set /p alias= Enter the keystore alias: ??echo : ??echo : ??echo : ??keytool -list -v -keystore %keystorePath% -alias %alias% ??echo : ??echo : ??echo : ??set /p cmd=Press any key to exit Create a .bat file, paste this code, replace the "??" by line breaks and change JRE path if needed.

[Akshay Sahai]

Screenshots were quite helpful

[greybeard]

There are archive snapshots of the tutorial referenced above.

[mhdjazmati]

you are the boss!! :)

[Kleber]

Just for future reference: make sure you point to ~/.android/debug.keystore file. As I already had a keystore file, I thought I should reference it or create a new one in order to make this command work properly.

[Vishal Beep]

this is a very lengthy process.

[Vishal Beep]

bro in the current version it will maybe not work.

[Adnan haider]

got error missing keystore

[Rahul Kushwaha]

@Adnanhaider have you tried all steps carefully ? Its valid in latest version of android studio. If you are using old version then open gradle then app and then android and last click of signing report

[Adnan haider]

my bad i used release config that's why i got error. now its work fine thanks

[Braj]

thanks I used password as "android" that solved this issue
