I have to submit a new apk file for the same production in playstore. I have lost my keystore so I have created a new ketstore, but it will not upload this one. So, can be the solution for this situation?
There is no way to submit new apk without the keystore.
Only solution would be to restore your system to previous date when you have the keystore.
You can try this link for bruteforce technique
this github-link for keystore cracker application

Is there anyway to get the keystore file from .apk, Unfortunately the keystore file is missed now i need to update my app which is there is Google Play.
Please help, Thnx in advance
No, it's not. Imagine the huge security breach that would be. In addition to the already existing problem with code decompilation and recompilation, hackers could even sign a modified APK with the original key and pretend it to be original.

I updated the adt plugin for eclipse and it deleted the keystore that held my private key for my app that is already on the app store. This was the only copy of the private key. Is there any way to restore or rebuild this key for an update to the play store?
No.
Try to get some utilities that recover files on your computer and if you're lucky you can restore the keystore.
Considering you lost the complete file, and not only the password; NO. You can't update this version of the app anymore, unfortunately. If you'd still have the file and not the password you might be able to run some kind of smart brute-force (still very unfeasible).
You could try some tools that recover deleted files though, but I can't help with that as I have no experience there.
You will not be able to update your app in the Play Store without it being signed by the identical key, and there is NO way around this.
Your best hope is to somehow recover the keystore you used to sign your app.

I have uploaded my app in the market. But I had forgot the Keystore and alias password.
By the time i guess correct, the alias option disappeared. So i had to create a new alias and password. I gave the alias password as the keystore password.
What do i have to do? I cant upload.
Please give me specific instructions at what to do?
You need to do your best to recall your password, there is no other way to update your app instead of uploading it as a new one. Check this question.

Can I signed the apk with multiple keystore?
No, public-private key security mechanism are setup specifically to avoid being able to reconstruct the certificate.
If you've lost your keystore then you're basically stuck.
Always backup your keystore and store it in a secure place (or places).

I lost my .keystore file!
I have an app on the android market for 5 months now. I haven't updated it in probably 2 months, so yesterday I went to work coding it. I finish my coding, go to export the app and it asks for my Keystore. The only problem is that when I try the use existing keystore option, THERE ARE NONE!!! So, I go through the long process of creating a new keystore and get the application exported and try to update the app and it tells me the keystores don't match, which is true.
This is the same computer I developed the first version of the app with, using the original keystore so where did it go? How do I retrieve it? My app has 500-1,000 downloads and it's $0.99 so I really don't want to piss 500 people off by removing the app and uploading a new one.
Any suggestions?
I'd suggest contacting the Google team and see if they can retrieve it for you?
