PhoneGap Build

  1. Go to PhoneGap Build

Download and install:

Only versions e or d DO NOT USE k


  • Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin
  • Create a Private key
keytool -genkey -v -keystore my-private-key.keystore -alias myalias -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000

-validity 10000 means this keys is valid for 10000 days which is 27 years. Google Play requires a validity time greater than 25 Years.

  • Fill the information asked and set a password (i.e. mypass)
  • This will generate a my-private-key.keystroke file
  • Generate the Hash for that keystroke:
keytool -exportcert -alias myaliase -keystore my-private-key.keystore | "C:\openssl\bin\openssl.exe" sha1 -binary | "C:\openssl\bin\openssl.exe" base64

Then copy the key printed at terminal and past it on Facebook APP config section (Android > Key Hashes)
