Resolving Google Play Keystore Issues

Overview

The Android Keystore system lets you store security certificates and private keys to prevent others from updating your app on the Google Play store. You can upload a keystore to Thunkable with whatever alias you wish. All keystores created by Thunkable have the alias AndroidKey, but other platforms, such as Android Studio, use different keystore aliases.
