There are several Android developers in our project who have access to the Google Play console to be able to publish APK updates from their computers.
As mentioned in the docs and this post here:
Apk must be signed with the same certificates as the previous version
Question:
Is there a way where the first developer can share his certificate with the second developer so that the second developer can publish APK updates on the Google Play console?
So far I have not seen mention of this in documents or discussions
The initial version of the application was published by the first developer. Now the second developer would like to publish some updates. However, this seems to be blocked, so only APKs signed from the first developer's computer will be allowed to download updates.
Update
For a more stable team, I see a cloud solution from the accepted answer, but in our case sharing a certificate file turned out to be the most practical solution. It was clean, fast, and solved this requirement without adding extra layers to the stack.
