SHA-1 Fingerprint Problem

Ed_T_ — Wed, 10 Aug 2016 03:15:03 GMT

Folks,

I'm trying to set up Push Notifications on Firebase using cordova-plugin-fcm

I need to create the SHA-1 Fingerprint of the keystore I'm using for this test app. Several places on the web suggest using JAVA's keytool.exe.

I'm using Windows CMD to open a command line, drilling down into the jre folder, and using the syntax:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_101\bin>keytool -list -v -keystore C:\Intel XDK builds\keys\pushtest.keystore -alias throawaypushtest
Illegal option: XDK

For whatever reason it fingers the XDK as a villan.

Am I missing something?

Thanks,

Ed

Ed,

It's because of the space in "Intel XDK". Try double quotes around this bit - C:\Intel XDK builds\keys\pushtest.keystore

Pamela,

Ho Boy! Don't I feel stupid! I should have remembered that about DOS command lines!

If you own a copy of Using MS-DOS 6.2 from Que Books, please scratch my name off the cover with a Sharpie!

ROFL

Thanks!

Oh, ouch! Scratching your name, that's harsh.

Another easy option is to move the keystore file (or copy) into another directory.

Oh no! Once you said spaces

Oh no! Once you said spaces in a command line, I KNEW!I

I have the fingerprint, no problem.

It's only been 23 years since that book came out, but still... Hopefully my co-author never sees this thread!
