Question by EmilyAnimator · Sep 14, 2016 at 03:06 AM · androidvrkeystore

Do I need a KEYSTORE if I am NOT putting app on Google Play Store? (or any app store)

Clearly I'm new to Unity and Android development.

I have a Gear VR and I am just trying to do this test where you make a scene with a cube in it. alt text

It's asking me to create a Keystore, but from what I understand reading other "keystore" related posts here, a keystore is for posting things to Google Play Store securely. Clearly this isn't a thing I plan to launch on any store! It's just a test. So do I need to make a keystore to just run this test on my own phone?

And is a keystore a permanent part of your unity account that applies to all your projects? Or do you make a new one for each app/project? Is this a password I will need to remember later? Is it something that will become relevant if someday I DO actually make a thing I want to publish to a store?

It will not launch the app in the Gear until I have resolved this. So I'm a bit stuck

Thanks!

and sorry for my newbie ignorance :/ I super appreciate any help understanding this!

@EmilyAnimator

You don't really need a key store to just test your app on Android. You can use debug key store in your build settings and run a test.

And Key store isn't permanent part of your play store account. You can use different keystores for different app and it's purpose to sing your APK file. . However for a single app , keystore must remain same for the purpose of versioning your app so yeah for a single app you need to remember that password if you wish to release newer version.

To run your app assign debug keystore
