true, false, %1$d/%2$d, now also includes vector graphics, references, and so on, as well as corrects some lines after auto-translation. Go to "Settings" → "Signature", select "Create key".
Signature algorithm:
Difference in the length of the certificate hash (after signing the apk). SHA256withRSA is optimal. We leave it by default. MD5 is considered insecure. Detailed differences can be found on the Internet.
Type:
Specifies the storage type. By default, JKS (can also be known as .keystore). Detailed differences can be found on the Internet.
Path to the key:
Output storage location for the key. The file name is entered automatically, and you can change it at the end if you want.
Alias:
Alias for the key. Specified during import/operation.
Storage and key password:
Password to protect the storage and the key itself before importing/using it. For convenience, you can make them identical.
Key Size:
Specifies the number of bits (length) of the key signature to read. The default value is 2048. Increasing the size increases its cryptographic strength, but it is more difficult to analyze (slower). Set using an informative geometric progression (2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, and so on)
Validity period:
The time from the creation date when the key's authenticity expires. Specified in years.
The following information is required to inform you about the signature owner. Specify as desired:
Name, position, organization, city, region/state, country.
The "Save" button completes the creation and places the key store in the previously specified path.
