Your keystore file isn't being found or is set incorrectly - Tools --> Private Sign Key... What does it say? If it says filippo.keystore make sure the file exists where it is supposed to.

I have never had this problem, all the apps I have created have always worked, that file was created a few weeks ago, so why even the old apps, I have never created a private key so why is it looking for it? now how do I update the apps to the old versions? it asks me that the app with the same package is present but I can't install.

Do you publish your apps on Google? Were you using the debug key or a different one? Swap back to the debug key and see if that is OK then take it from there

these apps are not published on google play it's been months since I published apps on my google play account, so why is it looking for a keystore key for another app that I never published?

B4A 13.10 need Java 19 and Android Jar 34.
I suggest you to download everything new from the installation guide and make a fresh installation following carefully all the steps.

so why even the old apps, I have never created a private key so why is it looking for it?

- you made a mistake in the past not having aa keystore set
- Just delete the app and install it new. It should now run with the keystore set you created a few weeks ago.
- Always have this keystore set

 

[fifiddu70]

where can i find the old keystore key? can i find it inside the project or is it in the b4a installation folder?

Check the path under Tools - Private Sign Key.
