“Debug certificate expired” error in Eclipse Android plugins

Question

I am using Eclipse Android plugins to build a project, but I am getting this error in the console window:

[2010-02-03 10:31:14 - androidVNC]Error generating          


        

Answer 1

To fix this problem, simply delete the debug.keystore file.

The default storage location for AVDs is

In ~/.android/ on OS X and Linux.

In C:\Documents and Settings\.android\ on Windows XP

In C:\Users\.android\ on Windows Vista and Windows 7.

Also see this link, which can be helpful.

Answer 2

In Windows 7 it is at the path

C:\Users\[username]\.android

• goto this path and remove debug.keystore
• clean and build your project.

Answer 3

On a Mac, open the Terminal (current user's directory should open), cd ".android" ("ls" to validate debug.keystore is there). Finally "rm debug.keystore" to remove the file.

Answer 4

I had this problem couple of weeks ago. I first tried the troubleshooting on the Android developer site, but without luck. After that I reinstalled the Android SDK, which solved my problem.

Answer 5

On Vista, this worked:

1. DOS: del c:\user\dad\.android\debug.keystore

2. ECLIPSE: In Project, Clean the project. Close Eclipse. Re-open Eclipse.

3. ECLIPSE: Start the Emulator. Remove the Application from the emulator.

You are good to go.

I was pretty worried when I say that error, but I fixed it from reading here and playing around for 10 minutes.
