Facing issues uploading my modified app to Google Play Console

MIT App Inventor Help
1

When I try to upload the aab file of an android app modified from the original MIT App Inventor project file (which had earlier successfully been uploaded to Google Play Console) by creating a new release, I encounter the error “Your Android App Bundle is signed with the wrong key. Ensure that your App Bundle is signed with the correct signing key and try again…”

Just to add, the “Export Keystore” and “Delete Keystore” options have always been disabled/greyed out for. I am not sure if there is any settings that I have to do on MIT App Inventor to enable them and to fix the issue that I have with uploading the aab file.

Which server (ai2 or code) did you build your original app on, and did you build the update on the same server?

That shouldn't be the case after you've built the first app.

Post a screenshot and tell us on which server you built the app published in the Play Store.

Thanks for replying; server is ai2.
I have now created my own keystore file and imported it to App Inventor, and hoping it wouldn’t give me any issues, once Google resets my keys to this key.

After I imported the keystore file, “Export Keystore” and “Delete Keystore” options are now enabled.

I ran into something similar before and in my case the issue was not the code itself but the signing configuration. Google Play was rejecting the upload because the modified build was not matching the original app signature. It may also be worth checking whether the version code was increased properly before exporting the new build.

I will also ensure that the version code is increased properly before exporting the new build (I didn’t know this had to be done manually). Thanks for pointing it out to me!
