To retrieve the SHA-256 hash in Google Play Console, follow these steps:

Open your app and navigate to Test and release > App integrity > Play app signing. Click on "Settings":

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

SHA-256 certificate fingerprint

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
