How to add SHA-1 to android application

Question

I'm trying to create a dynamic link in Firebase, when I'm selecting the android app, it shows an error saying "Add SHA-1 to this android app", I've already added a credential, but I'm not sure how exactly do I "add SHA-1 to the app"

How is this done?

SHA-1 generation in android studio:

Select Gradle in android studio from right panel
Select Your App
In Tasks -> android-> signingReport

Double click signingReport.

You will find the SHA-1 fingerprint in the "Gradle Console"

Add this SHA-1 fingerprint in firebase console

Android Studio 3.3: Click on the elephant icon in the Gradle panel, select the project, type in the Command line: "signingReport", click OK – norbDEV Sep 25 '18 at 11:56
This totally worked, but Android Studio saw fit to switch my default configuration to creating a signing report instead of running the app. Just a heads up in case running the app breaks for you after finding this value. – rob5408 Dec 16 '19 at 14:19

I didn't find debug sha1. I only see md5, sha1, sha256. – A Yashwanth Mar 28 '21 at 04:47

If you are using Google Play App Signing you need to use the SHA1 from google play since Google will replace your release signing key with the one on googles server

This needs to be a lot higher. I totally missed that my key is just for uploading and then google resigns it on its own. Took me better part of a morning to realize this – somerandomusername Jul 04 '18 at 07:57

Really helpful! The Google App Signing SHA1 has to be added to the list of SHA1's on your services. – Lucy Jul 07 '18 at 14:11

Lifesaver! This should be highlighted in the [Google App Bundle documentation](https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/7384423). They mention it under **Tips and Best Practices** at the bottom of the page. However, it is unclear what is required and how to implement. – AdamHurwitz Oct 01 '18 at 11:05
Had to use upload key certificate's SHA-1 and SHA-256. Thanks btw. – mdhz Oct 31 '20 at 11:46

Would be helpful to mention _where you can find that_ in google play: On the left hand side in https://play.google.com/console go to ***Release > Setup > App Integrity*** then click the App Signing tab – Flion Jul 10 '23 at 04:12

Alternatively you can use command line to get your SHA-1 fingerprint:

for your debug certificate you should use:

keytool -list -v -keystore C:\Users\user\.android\debug.keystore -alias androiddebugkey -storepass android -keypass android

you should change "c:\Users\user" with the path to your windows user directory

if you want to get the production SHA-1 for your own certificate, replace "C:\Users\user\.android\debug.keystore" with your custom KeyStore path and use your KeystorePass and Keypass instead of android/android.

Than declare the SHA-1 fingerprints you get to your firebase console as Damini said

You need to CD to the java bin folder for keytool to work. For me it was, `C:\Program Files\Android\jdk\microsoft_dist_openjdk_1.8.0.25\bin` although you might have a general java edition installed directly in `C:\Program Files\Java\...` – Kind Contributor Apr 22 '19 at 05:31

for Updated Android Studio(12 May 2021)

Click on Gradle right side
Click on the elephant icon and type the command

gradle signingReport

press Enter

Now, you will see BUILD SUCCESSFUL in the Run window that you can open from bottom just scroll that window upward and you will find your SHA1 key there. Add this key to firebase

In your Project settings, go to the Your apps card.
Select the Firebase Android app to which you want to add a SHA fingerprint.
Click Add fingerprint.
Enter or paste the SHA fingerprint, then click Save.

At last, while running your App please check you change the run configuration to app else only the signingReport Task would be running again and again.

If you are using Google Play App Signing, you don't need to add your SHA-1 keys manually, just login into Firebase go into "project settings"->"integration" and press a button to link Google Play with firebase, SHA-1 will be added automatically.

As we know its totally fine to link Firebase and Google Play, this is a super easy way to get rid of the SHA generation and integration steps. Within a minute i was able to make my Live app's google sign in bug go away. Thanks. – mohit kejriwal Jun 14 '20 at 06:42
I am using phone number OTP firebase authentication in my app so i added my project in the firebase console and also added SHA-1 & SHA-256. Then i uploaded my project to Google Play Store and link it with my project in the firebase. Now, SHA-1 on the Google Play Store is different than the firebase one. Is it a problem ?? Thank you – ibrahim Feb 07 '23 at 07:57
If that sha was added during firebase integration with google play, that sha should be right. – Torello Feb 07 '23 at 12:31

Run this command from your android directory.

./gradlew signingReport

If you're not in the android directory already, run this instead:

cd android && ./gradlew signingReport

Just In case: while using the command line to generate the SHA1 fingerprint, be careful while specifying the folder path. If your User Name or android folder path has a space, you should add two double quotes as below:

keytool -list -v -keystore "C:\Users\User Name\.android\debug.keystore" -alias androiddebugkey -storepass android -keypass android

Instead Of Writing Command, You can Follow the Following Steps For Copy SHA

Open Android Studio
Open Your Project
Click on Gradle (From Right Side Panel, you will see Gradle Bar)
Click on Refresh (Click on Refresh from Gradle Bar, you will see List Gradle scripts of your Project)
Click on Your Project (Your Project Name form List)
Click on Tasks/Android
Double Click on signingReport (You will get SHA1 and MD5 in Run Bar).

Open a terminal and run the keytool utility provided with Java to get the SHA-1 fingerprint of the certificate. You should get both the release and debug certificate fingerprints.

To get the release certificate fingerprint: keytool -exportcert -list -v \ -alias -keystore

To get the release certificate fingerprint, follow this easy detailed step.

Right click on your

android folder

add new file

name it 'key.properties'. (without the single quotation of course)

add this lines

storePassword=any unique password

keyPassword=re-enter unique password

keyAlias=upload

storeFile= we'll put this later on

On your terminal, add the following and Continue.

On Mac/Linux

keytool -genkey -v -keystore ~/upload-keystore.jks -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000 -alias upload

On windows

keytool -genkey -v -keystore c:\Users\USER_NAME\upload-keystore.jks -storetype JKS -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000 -alias upload

On password, enter the unique store password you put. On certificate information, just leave it blank and Continue. At the end, type yes to confirm your information and Continue.

Go to the specified path where your upload-keystore.jks file is put, copy the file or move it to your project. Specifically under this folder.

android/app

Go back to your key.properties file and specify where the upload-keystore.jks path is under storeFile. i.e.

../app/upload-keystore.jks

Go to

android/app/build.gradle

On the file, click

Open for Editing in Android Studio

New Window

On the new window terminal, add

./gradlew signingReport

and Continue.

Search for the results where both the variant and the config are

release

Under that, that's your release keys.

For debugging apk in android studio go to terminal and type:

cd app/build/outputs/apk/debug

then type:

keytool -printcert -jarfile app-debug.apk

You will get your SHA1 and SHA256 there.

Change path for release with debug.
