Application Fingerprints

Beta

Fingerprints are used for authentication between your Android Application and the Spotify service. You'll need to generate a fingerprint for your app and register it in your Dashboard.

1. Run the following command in your Terminal and add a password when required:

   
   

   _10

   # On Bash style shells

   _10

   $ keytool -alias androiddebugkey -keystore ~/.android/debug.keystore -list -v | grep SHA1

   _10

   _10

   # On Windows Powershell

   _10

   $ keytool -alias androiddebugkey -keystore %HOMEPATH%\.android\debug.keystore -list -v | grep SHA1

   
   

   You should receive a fingerprint that looks like this: SHA1: E7:47:B5:45:71:A9:B4:47:EA:AD:21:D7:7C:A2:8D:B4:89:1C:BF:75

2. Copy the fingerprint and your package name and enter it in the Spotify Developer Dashboard, under the "Edit settings" section. Don't forget to click Save after you add the fingerprint.

   

The development and production versions of your application usually have different certificates for security reasons.

1. Run the following command in your Terminal (no password):

   
   

   _10

   # On Bash style shells

   _10

   $ keytool -alias <RELEASE_KEY_ALIAS> -keystore <RELEASE_KEYSTORE_PATH> -list -v | grep SHA1

   _10

   _10

   # On Windows Powershell

   _10

   $ keytool -alias <RELEASE_KEY_ALIAS> -keystore <RELEASE_KEYSTORE_PATH> -list -v | grep SHA1

   
   

   You should receive a fingerprint that looks like this: SHA1: E7:47:B5:45:71:A9:B4:47:EA:AD:21:D7:7C:A2:8D:B4:89:1C:BF:75

2. Copy the fingerprint and your package name and enter it in the Spotify Developer Dashboard. Don't forget to click Save after you added the fingerprints in the dashboard.
