keytool comes with the JDK  If you are using cygwin then this is probably on your path already  Otherwise  you might dig around in your JDK s bin folder   You ll probably need to use cygwin anyways for the shell pipes     to work

User · Answer

Few observations while I was getting the same problem  Windows     1  Shell pipe is important   2  If you are using OpenSSL or Cygwin  definitely you have to install it   3  keytool comes with JDK so either you have to point to it in the command or you have cd to the JDK bin folder  where the exe resides   4  The debug keystore is typically located at    android debug keystore   5  password is  android  whether you -keypass it or type it when prompted   6  For the alias name  you can open  DO NOT SAVE  just open and close  the keystore file with any editor and read it   7  MOST IMPORTANT - There is a difference is specifying the keystore path within quotes and without  I got it working by using the keystore path within the double quotes   As remix090378 said and as per the instruction  this command indeed worked - cd C  Program Files Java jdk1 7 0 09 bin  keytool -exportcert -alias androiddebugkey -keystore  C  Users userName android debug keystore  -list -v

Robby Pond s answer can be generalized to use JAVA HOME environment variable and to also compensate for any blanks that might occur in the path  like Program Files      JAVA HOME  bin keytool  -exportcert -alias androiddebugkey -keystore    android debug keystore   openssl sha1 -binary   openssl base64

Keytool is part of the Java SDK  You should be able to find it in your Java SDK directory e g  C  Program Files Java jdk1 6 0 14 bin

User · Answer

Given that you have installed Java and preferably a JDK in your system   answering for Windows because you mentioned it in your question  you should have the keytool utility on your installation s bin folder    If that s the case  what you can do next is add that bin folder to the PATH environment variable of your Windows installation    The next time you will open a Windows shell and you ll type keytool you will be able to run the actual utility

In my case  I had already generated an APK file using the command ionic cordova build android --prod and I needed to get the SHA-1 fingerprint for the already existing APK file  Here s how I got it by running the following command in the App directory   keytool -list -printcert -jarfile app-debug apk  So  I basically ran the above command in the following app location   C  myApp platforms android app build outputs apk debug gt keytool -list -printcert -jarfile app-debug apk  This gave me the SHA1 fingerprint as  7B 6B AD      Hope this helps someone
