Client authentication

Certain Google Play services (such as Google Sign-in and App Invites) require you to provide the SHA-1 of your signing certificate so we can create an OAuth2 client and API key for your app.

Play App Signing

If you've published your app using Play App Signing , a requirement when using Android App Bundle , you can get your SHA-1 from the Google Play Console on the Release > Setup > App Integritypage.

Self-sign your application

If you're not using Play App Signing, follow the instructions in the following sections to use Keytool or Gradle's Signing Report to get your SHA-1.

Keytool on the certificate

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 
  
 - 
 list 
  
 - 
 v 
  
\ - 
 alias 
  
< your 
 - 
 key 
 - 
 name 
>  
 - 
 keystore 
  
< path 
 - 
 to 
 - 
 production 
 - 
 keystore 
> 

To get the debug certificate fingerprint:

keytool -list -v \
-alias androiddebugkey -keystore ~/.android/debug.keystore

keytool -list -v \
-alias androiddebugkey -keystore %USERPROFILE%\.android\debug.keystore

The keytool utility prompts you to enter a password for the keystore. The default password for the debug keystore is android . The keytool then prints the fingerprint to the terminal. For example:

 Certificate fingerprint: SHA1: DA:39:A3:EE:5E:6B:4B:0D:32:55:BF:EF:95:60:18:90:AF:D8:07:09 

Keytool on an APK or AAB

To get the certificate of an application binary:

  # APK file 
keytool  
-printcert  
-jarfile  
app.apk 
  # AAB file 
keytool  
-printcert  
-jarfile  
app.aab 

Gradle's signing report

You can also get the SHA-1 of your signing certificate using the Gradle signingReport command:

 ./gradlew signingReport 

The signing report will include the signing information for each of your app's variants:

 > Task :app:signingReport
Variant: debug
Config: debug
Store: ~/.android/debug.keystore
Alias: AndroidDebugKey
MD5: A5:88:41:04:8D:06:71:6D:FE:33:76:87:AC:AD:19:23
SHA1: A7:89:E5:05:C8:17:A1:22:EA:90:6E:A6:EA:A3:D4:8B:3A:30:AB:18
SHA-256: 05:A2:2C:35:EE:F2:51:23:72:4D:72:67:A5:6C:8C:58:22:2A:00:D6:DB:F6:45:D5:C1:82:D2:80:A4:69:A8:FE
Valid until: Wednesday, August 10, 2044
