    <prereq>Deleting a keystore deletes all of the keys within that keystore as well. Before deleting any keystore,
      examine the keystore's contents to make sure that the keys are no longer needed. To be safe, you may want to back
      up the keystore before deleting it.<note>When submitting an Android application update to Google Play, the update
          <i>must</i> be signed using the exact same key that was used to sign the original application. Be sure to keep
        copies of all keys you have used to sign apps submitted to Google Play.</note></prereq>
