Check your keystore file because your APK is signed with different keystore

Hi there, like what @pavi2410 mentioned earlier. You might have a different keystore so if your aia files originally come from other platforms like thunkable, appbuilder & etc. Make sure to import your keystore from the respective platform.
But before trying that i suggest you to check that your “Package Name” = com.yourname.yourappname is correct. And by correct that means that if you publish your app previously with com.abc.123, the updated app package name should also be com.abc.123.
Fail to do so and your certificate will be forfeited due to incorrect package name, but no worries. Pls make sure that it’s correct.
Certification of IRC from google play are subject to their own respective package names and are unique from one another. So please check that out.
Hope this helps 
Hello
Thank you very much for that Information it is very useful
I have a few questions in relation please.
If I have one PlayStore account can I upload apps Built on both Kodular and Thunkable to the same account or do all the apps I have on that account need to be signed with the same signing key?
I think it is a little confusing, there is an upload key and a app sign key but I am not sure if the app key needs to be the same throughout the account or if apps can be signed with the same upload key but a different app key like an app from Kodular account and one from a Thunkable or AI2 account?
Any help in working this out would be amazing thank you.

Not really. If an app is already published in the Play Store, the same keystore (which was used for the first release) must always be used to update this app.
If your app was build with Thunkable, you must export this keystore from Thunkable and import it into Kodular.
ATTENTION !
This will irreversibly overwrite the existing keystore of Kodular. So make sure you has saved it before !!!

Ok thank you very much
If I have this right, If I want to update an app it has to be from the exact same kodular account I used to first create the app.
If I am uploading a newly built app from another Kodular account a new app singing will be created for that app and all updates for that app should always be from that same account as they are signed with the com.kodular.myname.appname if i am correct.
Any advice would be welcome.
Thank you
Yes, if you have 2 Kodular accounts, you have to build the new release / update with the same account as you build the first release, which was published in the Play Store for the first time.
PackageName and keystore have to the same.
Sorry one last question.
Should this be from the account the app project was first started on.
Example I have an account in Spain my Partner has an account in India we swap AIA with Send Anywhere or Dropbox and import to our accounts.
If the project was started on my Account will it keep the same signing key no matter how many times we swap between accounts?
or dose it matter on what account the akp was created?
Thank you
The keystore belongs to your Kodular account. Each Kodular account has its own keystore.
