Well there was an accident on my computer with it I lost my project and my key to my application. How can I decompile the application and sign with new key?

  • Why would you need to decompile? Didn't you use offsite source control? As for the key- if it isn't a play store app, no problem. If it is, you need to contact Google. – Gabe Sechan Feb 17 '17 at 15:16
  • unfortunately without keystore you can't sign and publish another apk – an_droid_dev Feb 17 '17 at 15:16

Long story short, you can retrieve source with some external tools like javadecompilers.com (explained there)

However for your key, you will have to create a new application in the store unfortunately, using a new key (explained here). There's no way around if you don't have it elsewhere.

if you have the .apk, it is actually just a zipped file. For example with 7zip you can right click on the apk file and "extract files".

You will then need to have a new key and sign it.

Only problem i see is if the app was already released, you have to use same account, or else maybe the store will assume you publish someone else code (not sure about that)
