I’m pretty certain it’s true, but I wish I had reviewed that section more thoroughly before the exam.

I feel like I read something about using different certificates, but that might have been for a different platform. I’m leaning towards true, though.

I remember a practice question about app signing, and it emphasized the importance of the certificate for updates. So, I’d go with true.

I think it's true that you need to sign with the same certificate, but I’m not completely sure if there are exceptions.

This makes sense to me. If the certificate changes, then Google Play won't recognize it as an update to the same app, and users won't get notified. I'm feeling good about answering this one.

I'm a little confused by this question. Does it mean the developer has to use the same certificate every time they release an update? I'll have to think this through carefully.

Okay, I remember learning about this in class. The app has to be signed with the same certificate so that Google Play can verify it's the same app being updated.
TA

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this. I think it has to do with how Google Play handles app updates, but I'm not 100% certain.

I'm pretty confident about this one. The key is that the app needs to be signed with the same certificate for updates to be recognized by previous users.

True, false, who cares? As long as the update works, that's all that matters, right? *laughs* Developers and their certificate drama.

Hmm, I wonder if this is Google's way of ensuring app developers don't accidentally mess up their users' devices. Gotta keep those updates secure!

Wait, so if I change the signing certificate, my users won't get the update? That's not very user-friendly.

NI
