Q:

Can release-key file be reused without password?

I have an app on android market. Which was developed by a developer. He uses this release-key or keystore for all his projects so dont want to give out the password for this. Is there any way to re-use this release-key file to make new version of the app by just using the file and not the password?

A:

Obviously, this is not possible, as the private Key in the Keyring is encrypted with this password. And without the private key you can't sign the app. Simple as that ;-)
