keystore and private key migration

Question

I have and issue when I try to generate signed-apk. Well, I have a laptop what was used to development my android app using android studio by other hand I have a desktop with clean android installation.

I copied /home/.android folder from m laptop to my desktop but when I try to compile a signed-apk I get follow error message: cannot recover key. Either if I compile it on my laptop I am able to get signed apk.

Do I am missing something? Thanks a lot

Answer 1

Make sure you added these in your build.gradle:

signingConfigs{
        config {
            keyAlias '****'
            keyPassword '****'
            storeFile file('****.keystore')
            storePassword '****'
        }
    }

Answer 2

On your laptop you might be using existing keystore path that is the .jks file , use the same file to generate signed apk on your desktop. See if this works.
