I've contacted Google Play Developer Support about this issue (I've got a same problem). Here is their answer : Please ensure the key is set to 2048 bit and is valid for at least 25 years.

I've tried it, but sadly my debug.keystore is still not getting accepted, maybe there will be some luck on your side.

$ keytool -genkey -v -keystore debug.keystore -storepass android -alias androiddebugkey -keypass android -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000
