Power Apps Wrap Signature hash Code for Android

Introduction

The wrap feature in Power Apps lets you create native mobile versions of your canvas apps as custom-branded Android and iOS mobile apps. You can distribute such wrapped native mobile apps to the end users through Microsoft IntuneMicrosoft app centerGoogle Play or Apple Business Manager, or other native distribution methods.

In the previous blog, we earn how to create the Azure AD App restoration for the Andriod platform.

In this blog will learn to generate the Signature Hash code from Kaytoo.

Prerequisite

Need to install and configure in the system.

Generate keys

  1. Open the comment prompt, and run it as Administrator.

2. Command Prompt open as the system administrator.

3. Navigate to the Folder Directory where keytool.exe is present in the system.

NOTE: Generate the keys for the Andriod code sign with the help of the keytool.exe

keytool.exe (available after installing Android Studio, from the folder location “c:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\jbr\bin\keytool.exe”) to create a certificate to sign the application package. Keytool is used to manage a keystore (database) of cryptographic keys, X.509 certificate chains, and trusted certificates.

To generate a key, open a command prompt and run the following command:

keytool -genkey -alias SIGNATURE_ALIAS -keyalg RSA -keystore PATH_TO_KEYSTORE -keysize 2048 -validity 10000

Parameters:

  • genkey – command to generate a key.
  • alias – indicates the alias to be used in the future to refer to the keystore entry containing the keys that are generated.
  • keyalg – key algorithm name.
  • keystore – the name of the keystore you’re using.
  • keysize – the size of each key to be generated.
  • validity – the validity of the key in a number of days.

Preparing Keyvault, PATH_TO_KEYSTORE should have .pfx extension

keytool -genkey -alias powerappswrap -keyalg RSA -keystore powerappswrap.pfx -keysize 2048 -validity 10000

Preparing for manual signing, PATH_TO_KEYSTORE should have .jks extension.

keytool -genkey -alias powerappswrap -keyalg RSA -keystore powerappswrap.jks -keysize 2048 -validity 10000

Generate signature hash

Generating the key, the exportcert command is used in keytool to export the Keystore certificate.

The command to generate the signature Hash Code for Andriod.

keytool -exportcert -alias SIGNATURE_ALIAS -keystore PATH_TO_KEYSTORE | openssl sha1 -binary | openssl base64

Parameters:

  • exportcert – reads from the keystore the certificate associated with the alias and stores it in the cert_file file. When no file is specified, the certificate is output to stdout.
  • alias – the alias used while generating keys earlier.
  • keystore – the name of the keystore you’re using.
  • openssl – generates SHA1 key for Android.

In my case the command for Signature Hash to APK Manual Sign in

keytool -exportcert -alias powerappswrap -keystore powerappswrap.jks | openssl sha1 -binary | openssl base64

Hope you learn something, Thanks for Reading 📖!
