[SOLVED] How do I do "Authenticating Your Client with Google"?

How do I do "Authenticating Your Client with Google"?

How do I Authenticating Your Client correctly with google? I'm following this tutorial https://developers.google.com/android/guides/client-auth

I copy this text into my command prompt -

keytool -exportcert -list -v \ -alias androiddebugkey -keystore %USERPROFILE%.android\debug.keystore

I get this message back "-alias is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."

What am doing wrong?

Solution

The copied command shouldn't contain the backslash after -v and it must be placed in one single line, like this:

keytool -exportcert -list -v -alias androiddebugkey -keystore %USERPROFILE%\.android\debug.keystore

Besides you have to change the %USERPROFILE% location in the command to the path where the .android directory located. (Maybe it is here: C:\User\YourUserName\ , but you have to check it if it's there)
