Lost my keystore file
I uploaded android game to the play store one month ago, I created a keystore for this first version of game, however I want to update it now but I lost my keystore file, so when I try to upload the APK to the play store, it gives me this message:
You uploaded an APK that is signed with a different certificate to your previous APKs. You must use the same certificate. Your existing APKs are signed with the certificate(s) with fingerprint(s)
How can solve this, I really need to update the game because the old version has some mistakes
