Previously you needed to email us, but now you can download your keystore yourself. Please log in and go to this page https://appcenter.html5tools-software.intel.com/certificate/export.aspx

Maybe a stupid question, but what is the authentication code and where can I find it?

SOLVED: On the first page there is a term " identification code" used and on the second "authentication code", but it's the same!
After you have generated "a unique identification code", it will be sent to your email address. This code can be used as "authentication code" on the second page where you can download your keystore.

P.S. I see that many options in the AppCenter are working again, e.g. Download.
I thought the AppCenter was almost closed and all functionality will be moved to the XDK IDE asap, new policy?

Why do you want to use the XDK keystore?
I think it's easier to generate your own keystore and used that KS for signing your app, like you do with Android Apps build with Eclipse or Android Studio.
This android-apk-signing-tool-apk-signer tool makes it very easy!

But you question remains valid: why?

If you've already submitted an Android app to the store that uses the certs created by the XDK build system you need to continue using that cert for future submissions to the store. However, if you have NEVER submitted you app to the store then you can sign it yourself using your own cert and do not need the one that the XDK build system creates automatically.

So retrieving the cert from our build system is ONLY necessary if you need it because you already have submitted your app to the store, based on our build system, and need to submit a new version of the same app to the store but are using a different build system.

Hello,

I already have submitted my app to the store, based on Intel XDK build system, and need to submit a new version of the same app to the store but built using a different build system. I've downloaded the .keystore file and all the details, but I get the "private key algorithm is not compatible with signature algorithm" error when using jarsigner.

How to solve this?

 

*SOLVED*

Just use SHA1withDSA
