Failed to update Android app: Error from apksigner: ERROR (Jar signer CERT.RSA): Failed to parse JAR signature META-INF/CERT.RSA: java.security.cert.CertificateException: Failed to parse certificate #1

Today, when I tried to update an apk for one of my app.

Google Play console apk upload page returns the following error:

Upload failed

You uploaded an APK with an invalid signature (learn more about signing).

Error from apksigner: ERROR (Jar signer CERT.RSA): Failed to parse JAR signature META-INF/CERT.RSA: java.security.cert.CertificateException: Failed to parse certificate #1

I can promise my certificate was never changed since it was created at the year 2011.

In recent three years, I really didn't use AIR SDK often.

But I remember that I really made a successful update for one of my apps.

Is there anything I missed in new AIR SDK versions?

Or is this a problem of Google Play?

BTW, three months ago, I transferred my apps to my another Google Play account.

Would this be the reason for the error?

Has anyone also encountered the same problem?

    Got a reply from Google support:


    I suspect that this is still related to the original bug, as it's not yet fixed but is being worked on. I think that whatever changes the engineers are making on the backend may be affecting the upload in this manner, but the issue should be resolved once they're finished.

    Hope Google will fix it soon.

      Thank GOD I found this thread. I thought something had changed permanently in the way Google handles certificates. Please let us know as soon as you hear from Google support. TapirL​
