Hi

I have a case here, where a client lost the Android Keystore file which is unique and needed to update the app on the Play Store.
I need to search on the drive for that file, but I'm not sure which type of file to search, since it's not a usual file that R-Studio or similar would search for.
So, how to only search for that specific file?
One other thing: I need to find it on a MacOS laptop with a SSD drive. Can TRIM make this worse? The file seems to be lost for a few months already and the laptop didn't stopped working....
Thanks

You need to create your own Known File Type. See this article for more details: Creating a Custom Known File Type for R-Studio.

It will. If the file was deleted, it's most likely gone. If something like a crash, chances still remain.
