android build fails on local build

hi,

i try to build an android app locally on gitlab. but i get a general bug i can’t do anything with. on the public expo server the app can be built successfully.

When building the system i followed the following documentation:

• https://docs.expo.io/distribution/turtle-cli/
• https://www.robincussol.com/build-standalone-expo-apk-ipa-with-turtle-cli/

I hope you can help me and thank you for your time!

This is the command that we use for generating a keystore on our servers:

keytool \
 -genkey \
 -v \
 -storetype JKS \
 -storepass keystore_password \
 -keypass key_password \
 -keystore release.keystore \
 -alias my_key_alias \
 -keyalg RSA \
 -keysize 2048 \
 -validity 10000 \
 -dname "CN=com.domain.like.android.package.name,OU=,O=,L=,S=,C=US"

(reference: https://github.com/expo/expo-cli/blob/master/packages/xdl/src/credentials/AndroidCredentials.ts#L260) The only major difference between your command and ours is that we use the Android package for CN and we leave other fields empty. You use “Tobias Benkner” for CN - and to be honest I’m not sure if it’s valid.

Side note - you shouldn’t be generating a new keystore for every build. Once you upload the app to Google Play Store, you need to sign the further versions of the app with the same keystore.

In case someone else comes across this. You can convert a PKCS12 keystore to JKS with the following

keytool -importkeystore \
  -srckeystore <source_keystoreFile> \
  -srcstoretype PKCS12 \
  -destkeystore <destination_keystoreFile>  \
  -deststoretype JKS \
  -srcstorepass $KEYSTORE_PASSWORD \
  -deststorepass $KEYSTORE_PASSWORD \
  -srcalias my-alias \
  -destalias my-alias \
  -srckeypass $KEY_PASSWORD \
  -destkeypass $KEY_PASSWORD  \
  -noprompt
