Android PlayStore upload failed: Your Android App Bundle has an invalid signature

[Rollo62 564]

Hi there,

 

I have some issues with the upload of a re-signed AAB bundle.

 

I have to confess that this is not made with Delphi, for from an external supplier, which I want to Re-Sign into our PlayStore.

This worked well before, but now a new version comes always with the message above: "Your Android App Bundle has an invalid signature"

I only can assume, that this is caused by KeyStore file issues, during signing, but maybe I'm completely wrong with that assumption !!!

 

I have tried many different variants now, different case sensitivity / different version codes / different KeyStore files / and other, but the basic problem with the bundle upload stays the same.

What I try to do and what I am very sure about:

- Downloaded the working AAB package from PlayStore

- Checked the AAB Package, which contains everything as it should
- I want to re-sign this AAB, with the API-level 33 for testing, because I have no never version on-hand soon.

- The original AAB release bundle is currently still working and running in the PlayStore, also for API 32/ API 33 devices
- I used the very same, re-signed and re-bundled AAB Package, which refuses now already to be uploaded into a new internal testing release, see above image
- While I can check that all elements should be correct, like Package-Name, Version, KeyStore fingerprints, KeyStore alias ( tested with various case sensitivity ), and other 

- The Versions numbers were increased correctly, and everything seems well in place, as seen in the code below

- When comparing the KeyStore fingerprints from the PlayStore and re-signed AAB, they were both 1:1 same

 

I have no more idea, how to get this uploaded then, maybe somebody has a clue or spots some issues in the code below.

 

Here were the changes made, to the original package: ( marked by <== HERE: )

Oh my, like always

 

A minute after this post, I found the issue:

This problem was caused by an older command-line batch file, which still referred to JarSigner, and not the new ApkSigner, as required since a while.

Quote

APK Signature Scheme v2 now required

Apps that target Android 11 (API level 30) that are currently only signed using APK Signature Scheme v1 must now also be signed using APK Signature Scheme v2 or higher. Users can't install or update apps that are only signed with APK Signature Scheme v1 on devices that run Android 11.

To verify that your app is being signed with APK Signature Scheme v2 or higher, you can use either Android Studio, or the apksigner tool on the command line.
