[java] Default keystore file does not exist?

I'm getting this error.

C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin>keytool -list -v -keystore "C:\Users\Suresh\.android\debug.keystore" -alias androiddebugkey -storepass android -keypass android

keytool error: java.lang.Exception: Keystore file does not exist: C:\Users\Suresh\.android\debug.keystore

In macOS, open the Terminal and type below command

~/.android

It will navigate to the folder that containing Keystore file (You can confirm it with 'ls' command)

In my case, there is a file named 'debug.keystore'. Then type below command in the terminal from the ~/.android directory.

keytool -list -v -keystore debug.keystore

You will get the expected output.

go to ~/.android if there is no debug.keystore copy it from your project and paste it here then run command again.

For Mac Users: The debug.keystore file exists in ~/.android directory. Sometimes, due to the relative path, the above mentioned error keeps on popping up.

For Mac/Linux debug keystore, the Android docs have:

keytool -exportcert -list -v \
-alias androiddebugkey -keystore ~/.android/debug.keystore

But there is something that may not be obvious: If you put the backslash, make sure to do a shift + return in terminal after the backslash so that the second that starts with -alias is on a new line. Simply pasting as-is will not work.

Your terminal (if successful) will look something like this:

$ keytool -exportcert -list -v \
? -alias androiddebugkey -keystore ~/.android/debug.keystore
Enter keystore password: 

The default debug password is: android

Side note: In Android Studio you can manage signing in:

File > Project Structure > Modules - (Your App) > Signing

Use This for MAC users

keytool -list -v -keystore ~/.android/debug.keystore -alias androiddebugkey -storepass android -keypass android
