I have a bunch of .keystore files and need to find one with specific CN and alias. Is there a way to do it with keytool, jarsigner or some other tool? I found a way to check if specific keystore was used to sign a specific apk, but I also need to get the alias and certificate name in each of the files.

You can run the following command to list the content of your keystore file (and alias name):

keytool -v -list -keystore .keystore

If you are looking for a specific alias, you can also specify it in the command:

keytool -list -keystore .keystore -alias foo

If the alias is not found, it will display an exception:

keytool error: java.lang.Exception: Alias does not exist
