Branch.io setup

Setting up the branch.io service in expo for android it asks for “SHA256 Cert Fingerprints”
how do I get this. is it from play store console do I need to hack it off the finished APK?

Some crafty forum searching, soul searching lead me to find.
Android Signing Key to get your android keystore file.
Run exp fetch:android:keystore
Then Branch says to run keytool -list -v -keystore my-release-key.keystore
and then the CLI asks for your keystore password which expo has given from the first command.
But then Java happens…

Enter keystore password:  
keytool error: java.io.IOException: Keystore was tampered with, or password was incorrect
java.io.IOException: Keystore was tampered with, or password was incorrect

Caused by: java.security.UnrecoverableKeyException: Password verification failed
	at sun.security.provider.JavaKeyStore.engineLoad(JavaKeyStore.java:778)
	... 7 more

So close but no success…

Aha I entered the wrong password.
Cool my awesome way works.
exp fetch:android:keystore
keytool -list -v -keystore my-release-key.jks

Paste the SHA256: into branch.io
