Can I use the same signing key for both WebWorks bar and Android app bar?

I applied signing key for my Playbook WebWorks apps, works with no issue.

 

Am I able to use the same key to sign converted Android apps?  Tried few times and always got error: Invalid password, while the same key/password works fine with Webworks bar signing. Not sure if I did anything wrong or I must apply a new key for signing Android app.

 

Thanks

You can use the same signing key to sign any type of Tablet OS application.

 

Legacy BlackBerry Smartphone applications require a different set of keys.

 

Please verify that you have chosen the same Developer Certificate (.p12 file) for both types of application.

thanks, i was able to sign after restarted my computer, maybe "barsigner.csk and barsigner.db" were not found "%HOMEPATH%\AppData\Local\Research In Motion\" somehow 

 

signing has no issue, but i got 2 warnings:

 

Signing with RIM Key.....
Warning: The signer certificate will expire within six months.
Info: Bar signed.

 

Signing with Developer Key.....
Warning: The signer certificate will expire within six months.
Info: Bar signed.

 

is that normal?

 

thanks
