Which commands are you using?

cmorbitzer · 2019-07-14T14:56:47Z

You can generate the debug keystore by running this command in the android/app/ directory: keytool -genkey -v -keystore debug.keystore -storepass android -alias androiddebugkey -keypass android -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000

harikanammi · 2019-07-15T04:46:19Z

hi @kiranjd and @cmorbitzer thank you for your response. I missed the file called debug.keystore. So i placed this debug.keystore file in my project folder it solves the error i.e., Keystore file '/Project-Folder/android/app/debug.keystore' not found for signing config 'debug'.

jeancabral · 2019-07-19T01:04:14Z

Works fine to me Thx

bondehagen · 2019-07-19T14:17:26Z

Or just download from official template https://raw.githubusercontent.com/facebook/react-native/master/template/android/app/debug.keystore

priyajainSE · 2019-07-24T05:14:50Z

@bondehagen Where are we supposed to store this file in our react native project?

JohnnyFl · 2019-07-24T11:00:26Z

@priyajainSE, put debug.keystore in the android/app/ directory

Fixes facebook#25629 that happened after v60 upgrade.

Summary: Fixes #25629 that happened after v60 upgrade when using the diff tool https://react-native-community.github.io/upgrade-helper/?from=0.59.10&to=0.60.4 When following the diff for upgrading to react native 60. The debug.keystore is missing. It's added in the repository but ignored in the .gitignore, so it does not show. This adds an exception for this file. ## Changelog [Android] [Fixed] - Add exception in .gitignore for `debug.keystore` to the android template. Pull Request resolved: #25807 Test Plan: Create a new project from template and check that debug.keystore will be checked in when committing.

Ubuntu:

Running this command in the android/app/ directory: keytool -genkey -v -keystore debug.keystore -storepass android -alias androiddebugkey -keypass android -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000

In folder /home/ - Ctrl + H show all file hidden

Copy file debug.keystore in /home/.android/ to android/app/ directory your project, and rebuild

zfing · 2019-08-15T03:10:50Z

您可以通过在android/app/目录中运行此命令来生成调试密钥库：keytool -genkey -v -keystore debug.keystore -storepass android -alias androiddebugkey -keypass android -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000

对我来说工作正常Thx

thanks a lot !

rizwanellahi · 2019-08-27T12:42:07Z

@cmorbitzer @bondehagen, Resolved my issue to place debug.keystore file inside anadroid/app directory. Wait... *.keystore extension files are ignored in Github versioning. It means whenever we clone the project then we have to generate or place debug.keystore file manually?

React Native version:

"react": "16.8.6",
"react-native": "0.60.5"

LoicMahieu · 2019-08-27T12:53:57Z

@Rizwanilahi Yes I think. Personally I added !android/app/debug.keystore in the .gitignore to avoid that.

wagner94 · 2019-09-02T12:20:23Z

wow worked for me :)
First I added the environment variables and then I run on prompt keytool -genkey -v -keystore debug.keystore -storepass android -alias androiddebugkey -keypass android -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000 in android/app directory

Or just download from official template https://raw.githubusercontent.com/facebook/react-native/master/template/android/app/debug.keystore

Saving lives huh? Thanx

- Check in debug.keystore file from Facebook repo - Based upon documentaiton at: facebook/react-native#25629

for everyone like me who is super lazy:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/facebook/react-native/master/template/android/app/debug.keystore > android/app/debug.keystore

run ☝️ in your project root directory (same as where your package.json is) and then check that file into git ☺️

project from github. Everything went well but when I try to compile the project, it does not work and returns this to me:
The key file "C: \ Users \ user \ .android \ debug.keystore" was not found for signing the "config" configuration.

You notice that in my case it is not a question of 'debug' but of 'config'. Any tip for me? I downloaded the debug.keystore file but nothing has changed

@DevEventlab please try with android Studio it will solve your problem

…rade. Part of the RN v0.59.10 -> v0.60.0 upgrade [1]. This commit has no constraints on its position relative to the others in the series; a change was proposed, and we declined to take it. Corresponds to facebook/react-native@63ebbd6bf. Android Studio already takes care of supplying a debug keystore automatically, and we haven't seen any issues with that, nor do such issues seem to be a motivation for that upstream change. Probably, they wanted to make it easier to configure *release* keystores. But we already have a process for that [2], which works better for us than anything like what's proposed here. This change was also pretty turbulent, as it had to be partly amended in facebook/react-native@d55025694b [3]. That fix wasn't released until a full version later, in RN v0.61. Hundreds of people who had followed the RN v60 upgrade guide commented and reacted on the issue, having had to manually add to their `.gitignore` and download and copy a `debug.keystore` file. So, don't take this change. See also discussion [4].

I have generated the debug.keystore file and placed it at /android/app, but still the command npm run android fails with the same error. I also tried to download the file from the official template, but still the same occurs. Any ideas why?
