For your release keystore, do the same as above but choose a


name, alias, and password that you prefer.

Get Key Fingerprints

To hook your app up with services like Google APIs you'll need
to print out each of your keys' fingerprints and give them to the
services you're using. To do that, use:

$ keytool -list -v -keystore [keystore path]


-alias [alias-name] -storepass [storepass]
-keypass [keypass]
For your debug key that would look like:

$ keytool -list -v -keystore debug.keystore


-alias androiddebugkey -storepass android
-keypass android
