How to get SHA-1 and SHA-256 from Android Studio
SHA-1 and SHA-256 are used in Firebase OAuth and Dynamic links
SHA-1(Secure Hash Algorithm-1) is a cryptographic term or cryptographic hash function which takes an input and produces a 160-bit (20 bytes) hash value known as a message digest. It is typically rendered as a hexadecimal number which is 40 digits long.
Android Studio has two forms of SHA
- SHA-1 fingerprint certificate
- SHA-256 fingerprint certificate
- SHA-1 is used to create an OAuth2 client and API key for your app
- SHA-256 is used for configuring Firebase Dynamic links
How to get SHA-1 and SHA-256 from Android Studio
Follow these steps to get both SHA-1 and SHA-256:
- Open any Android Studio Project (recommended version is Android Studio 3.6+)
- On the right side of your project, you’ll see Device Explorer, Flutter Inspector(If installed), and Gradle.
3. Click Gradle and expand the <project name> tab. It looks like below-
4. After step 3 follow the below events
<project name> → android → signing Report5. After clicking the signing report, a terminal panel will open which shows your SHA-1, SHA-256, and MD5.
6. Copy SHA-1 and SHA-256 and use them wherever it is necessary.
Note
- SHA-1 and SHA-256 have validity. Make sure to change it wherever you need it before it expires.
- It will also be saved in the Android Project directory with .keystore extension. This will be used while uploading your app to Google PlayStore.
