Hi,
I uploaded my app but then lost my keystore. I asked Google for support, they told me to recreate the new key to submit to them in upload_certificate.pem format.
Bow the key is reset, however to create app from pwabuilder, I need a .keystore file. How to convert the upload_certificate.pem file to .keystore file ? Or how to get the .keystore file ?
Thank you

Hi the link is broken,
I didn't recover the keystore file, I generated new files and sent to Google so they replace the old certificate with the new one. However, the file is in .pem format instead of .keystore. Now I am looking for the .keystore file for pwabuilder, how to get it ?
This is the instruction I followed, which was sent by Google
Here’s how to generate and register a new upload key:
Follow the instructions in the Android Studio Help Center to generate a new key. It must be different from any previous keys. Alternatively, you can use the following command line to generate a new key:
keytool -genkeypair -alias upload -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 9125 -keystore keystore.jks
This key must be a 2048 bit RSA key and have 25-year validity.
Export the certificate for that key to PEM format:
keytool -export -rfc -alias upload -file upload_certificate.pem -keystore keystore.jks
Reply to this email and attach the upload_certificate.pem file.
-> My question is not about recovering the lost keystore file, but about how to get .keystore file from .pem file
Thank you
