A robust, production-ready Bash script to automate the secure generation of Android App Signing Keystores using Java's keytool utility. This script complies with modern Android security standards, including the PKCS12 keystore format, matching store/key passwords, and Google Play's 25+ year validity recommendation.
- Modern Standards: Generates standard standard-compliant PKCS12 format keystores.
- Identical Passwords: Uses a single password for both the store and the key to prevent PKCS12 keytool issues.
- Extended Validity: Sets key validity to 20,000 days (approximately 54 years), meeting and exceeding Google Play's minimum 25-year mandate.
- Descriptive CLI Flags: Uses expressive, self-documenting command-line arguments instead of cryptic single-letter options.
