Keystore
When you check the Keystore, the default is to build the rpk package with a certificate that comes with Creator, which is used only for debugging.
If you don't check the Keystore, you need to configure the signature files certificate.pem path and private.pem path, where you build a rpk package that you can publish directly. The user can configure two signature files by using the ... button to the right of the input box.
Note: these two signature files are not recommended to be placed in the build/qgame directory of the publish package, otherwise the build directory will be emptied each time when it is built, resulting in file loss.
There are two ways to generate a signature files:
Generated by the New button after the certificate.pem path in the Build panel.
Generated by the command line.
The user needs to generate the signature file private.pem, certificate.pem through tools such as openssl. The certificate in the build/qgame/sign/debug directory is for debugging purposes only.
bash# Generate a signature file with the openssl command tool openssl req -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout private.pem -x509 -days 3650 -out certificate.pemNote: the
openssltool can be opened directly in the terminal in linux or Mac environment, and in the Windows environment you need to installopenssland configure system environment variables.
