I have been uploading my android-app to Google Play for a while now. It has been working flawlessly until last night.

When I try to export my android project I get an error when I am typing in the password to my keystore.

Earlier my debug.keystore-file location was set to my .anroid folder by default. Now however I have to specifically choose it. Anyway, when I am typing my password (which I have used for eight earlier releases and therefor am 100% sure is correct) I get the following error message:

"Keystore was tampered with, or password was incorrect"

How can I fix this?

The only change I am aware of that I have made since my last successful release is that I have updated the Android SDK from version 1.6 to version 1.7. Could this have any effect on the validity of my debug.keystore and its password?

I usually find my answers by googling, but in this case I still do not find the solution after several hours of search. Please help me. I really want to put up my new release as soon as possible:)

Why did you mention debug.keystore-file? Have you signed your release with a debug key? Debug keys get recreated when they expire. So maybe that's what happend. As the SDK docs say you have to sign your apk with a release key before uploading to Google Play.
