Cannot log into Development Application Installer after New Key Generation

Jump to solution

We use VS Code to "sideload" dev channels.  We are at a point where we want the channel to be a Beta Channel.  We are following this guide.  We executed the step "New Key Generation" using PuTTY on Windows.

The next step is "Packaging with the Development Application Installer".  We were not logged into Development Application Installer, as mentioned we use VS Code to "sideload" the dev channel, we are not able to successfully log in.  We tried dev/{password} and the DevID/Password generated from genkey.

It has been a long time since we used a web browser to log into Development Application Installer, so we cannot actually confirm that we were able to connect the moment before running genkey.

Does anyone know what's going on or if there is an alternative way to publish the channel?

Thanks.

I'm a little unclear on where things are going astray.  You should be able to log into the device's webpage using rokudev as the username and whatever password you set up when you enabled developer mode on your Roku device (I assume the same one you set up in VS Code).  You don't use the password from genkey to log into the web page.  Once you log in, go to the "Packager" link and it will show the "Dev ID" assuming genkey was run.  It's on that page that you enter the password from genkey when you package your app.

Oh my goodness.  Using rokudev works.

Did this change?  Could have sworn that the user name was always just dev.

Nope, it's always been "rokudev".  My browser used to prompt with something like, "site suggests rokudev", but that seems to have gone away in the last year or two.
