How to use a new keystore for Quest 3 builds. I can't find how to delete existing builds.

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to upload new builds for my Quest 3 app using a different keystore, but I've hit a wall and hoping someone here can help.

The official documentation at https://developers.meta.com/horizon/resources/publish-overview-appID/ states:

The only way to generate a new keystore is for you to delete every version of your build

However, I cannot find any option to delete builds anywhere in the Meta Horizon dashboard. I've looked through the app management pages, version history, and release channels, but there's no visible delete button or option.

Thanks!

    In practice, changing the signing keystore for an existing app ID is usually not supported once builds have already been uploaded. The store associates the app with the original signing key. So maaaybe that's why you are not seeing the option anymore.

    So I think that your options are:

    1. Continue using the original keystore
      If you still have access to it, this is the easiest path.
    2. Create a completely new app ID
      This is what many developers end up doing if the original keystore is lost or compromised.
    3. Contact Meta developer support
      There may be an internal process for fully wiping uploaded binaries/resetting signing, but I do not think this is exposed publicly in the dashboard anymore.

    Also important:
    Even deleting release channels usually does not reset the signing association. The key relationship is tied to the app itself, not just uploaded APKs.
