# Google Play App Signing Method Watch the video walkthrough or continue with the step-by-step guide below: {% embed url="" %} Video walkthrough, [Google Play Console link](https://play.google.com/console/about/), [Base64 converter link](https://base64.guru/converter/encode/hex) {% endembed %} ## Step 1: Find **SHA-256 Hash** in **Google Play Console** To retrieve the **SHA-256 hash** in [**Google Play Console**](https://play.google.com/console/about/), follow these steps: Open your app and navigate to **Test and release > App integrity > Play app signing.** Click on "*Settings*":

Click "Settings" button in the Play app signing section

Under **App signing key certificate,** locate the "*SHA-256 certificate fingerprint*" (fingerprint = hash):

An example SHA-256 hash looks like this: ``` 88:8c:7f:02:d6:2e:ed:3a:53:bb:9c:a6:6b:82:5c:0d:78:a8:e5:b6:b2:11:28:bc:f5:ac:67:c8:e0:a3:7c:5a ``` You'll need this value for the next step. ## Step 2: Convert the SHA-256 Hash to Base64 Format **Convert the hash to Base64 format**, as the SDK requires it in this format. Follow the steps in [**this section**](/freerasp/freerasp/wiki/getting-signing-certificate-hash/result-convert-the-sha-256-hash-to-base64-format.md) ➡️ --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
