How to use the RSA key of Android, for license

[Mario_R_]

Hello everyone,

how to use the RSA public key provided by Google within Intel XDK, to create the necessary license for publication on Google Play?

I know that through this link you can add the license: https://appcenter.html5tools-software.intel.com/certificate/import.aspx

But I do not know how to create the Keystores starting from my RSA public key provided by Google. I do not know what to put in the other form fields.

Someone could explain what is the fastest way to publish an .apk created with Intel XDK on Google Play?

Thanks for your help

You do not need to use the RSA public key. This was not used in the current build system. 
If you do not have an existing keystore that you have created, just build an android app and one will be generated for your account. All of your android apps will then use this keystore.

If you have never published an APK to the Google Play store you can simply use the default signing provided automatically by the Intel XDK. If you have previously submitted an APK to the Google Play store and have an existing signing certificate for that store, then the link you referenced can be used to install that custom signing cert.

In other words, if you have never published your app to the store, there is nothing you have to do. Simply build that app (make sure the "signed" box is checked on the Build Settings page) and submit it to the store. This is the fastest way.

I used the default signing provided by the XDK and submitted my app to the Google Play and Amazon App Store. Now I need the CERT.RSA file so that I can set up an Amazon security profile for use with Amazon Device messaging as described here:-

Is the CERT.RSA file in the APK created by the XDK?

See this FAQ for downloading the keystore that was used to sign your app if you let the XDK build system sign it: https://software.intel.com/en-us/xdk/faqs/general#keystore
