Packaging with genkey and Roku account question

Archived

Hi all

When packaging an app for release (to private or public channel) does the box that is executing the genkey command need to be associated with the Roku developer account that the app is due to be published on? … Reading that back that’s as concise as I can make that sentence! :wink:

For example I have a box with an associated Roku account of test@test.com.
The genkey is generated on the box with test@test.com.
And I publish the app on a Roku channel with a Roku developer account of john@smith.com

Is the important detail that the app will need to be packaged (or rekeyed) on a box with the correct Dev Id and password and that the Roku account on the box has no bearing of where that app can be installed?

Thanks

^^^ That

As long as you rekey the box using a previous package and the appropriate password, the rest doesn’t matter.
