I have apk, my working pc is damaged and I have lost all source file. When uploading app to playstore it says:

you uploaded an apk for android app bundle that is signed with a restricted certificate. you need to upload an apk or android app bundle signed with your own certificate.

How can I change or resolve this issue?

    I guess you need the same key for updating an already published app. See link: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4322367/i-lost-my-keystore-file – Nikhil Gupta Jul 19 '18 at 06:59

If your app is registered with Google Play App Signing you can follow the instructions here, in the section "Create a new upload key" to let Google Play support help you create a new key.

If your app isn't registered with Google Play app signing and you have lost your signing key there is nothing you can do except create a new app. This is a good reason to enroll with Google Play App Signing.

  • Its first time I am going to upload this app on play store, I created and sign the apk with new signature using keytool, and zip aligned the apk but I am unable to upload on palystore again. – LBD Jul 22 '18 at 09:51
  • Once an APK is uploaded, you can't change key. You'll have to create your app again with a new package name. – Nick Fortescue Jul 23 '18 at 07:09
  • I have changed new package name too but still same problem exists. What could be the main problem? – LBD Aug 07 '18 at 13:47
  • The Play store should give you an error when you upload. What is the new error? – Nick Fortescue Aug 07 '18 at 14:00
  • Upload failed We could not save your changes. Please try again. its the only error shown there. What could be this? – LBD Aug 07 '18 at 14:04
  • At this point you should contact Google Play support. This can be done via the Help "?" icon in the Play console – Nick Fortescue Aug 07 '18 at 14:05
