There is NO way to recover a lost key , get it from the old Computer otherwise you have to create a new key and rename the package as well and upload as a new app .

Remember to store your key on a USB drive and upload it somewhere to your website and email it to your gmail account that you never lose it again .

Your keystore is not actually stored on your computer with the current XDK. It is stored in the cloud. You can access it here https://appcenter.html5tools-software.intel.com/certificate/export.aspx

i dowloaded the key store,

now that i try to sing the apk but this error occurs, we belive that the key we use to upload the first apk is diferent from the one we justdowload from the same place.

Any ideas

jarsigner error: java.security.SignatureException: private key algorithm is not compatible with signature algorithm

I dont understand. You downloaded your keystore from the url provided above, then what did you do? 

Are you using the XDK or trying to sign your app using a different tool?

What login did you use when you downloaded your keystore?

Can you attach a full screenshot of the issue you are getting?

Why are trying to use a cordova tool to sing the APK using they key that was provided by intel url provided above.

We are doing this because we dont know how to sing the apk with XDK. 

We use the same login.

Thanks for the help

The XDK will sign the APK if you make sure the "signed" checkbox is selected, under the Build Settings on the Projects tab. It will sign it with the same keystore that you downloaded.

If you want to sign an app manually then, yes, you must unselect the "signed" box. You can manually sign it with the keystore that you downloaded from the link that John gave you. With the next release of the XDK you can upload that keystore into your XDK account and let the XDK build system sign the app for you. If you cannot wait for the next release, then you need to sign the app manually using that keystore.
