title: What is production keystore in android and how can I get the path-to-production-keystore?
body: <p>I am trying to add google authentication feature in my android app and for that I need to get the Android Signing certificate SHA-1. The official <a href="https://developers.google.com/android/guides/client-auth" rel="noreferrer">tutorial</a> says to use the below command to get the SHA-1 hash value .</p>
  
  <p>In release mode</p>
  
  <pre><code>keytool -exportcert -list -v \-alias &lt;your-key-name&gt; -keystore &lt;path-to-production-keystore&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>debug mode</p>
  
  <pre><code>keytool -exportcert -list -v \-alias androiddebugkey -keystore ~/.android/debug.keystore
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now I am confused with what is this production-keystore and debug.keystore and how to get the path to production-keystore? Explanations are appreciated. </p>
