Signed application is getting installed without keystore in the device
<p>I am facing one problem regarding installing of signed application in the device.I have generated .apk file of android application using Eclipse IDE(right click on the project > Android Tools > Export Signed Application Package...) and created key store and generated the .apk file. I copied key store and .apk file to the Device SD card and install it, application has installed and working properly then i uninstall the application and removed the key store from the sd card and again install the application(now key store file is not there) in this scenario also application is getting installed and working properly.
My doubt is if application is getting installed without key store also then what is the need of generating the key store or what is the purpose of this key store file?
OR is there something which i am doing wrong in order to generate signed .apk file? </p>

<p>Please do help me resolve this issue.</p>

<p>Regards,
Piks</p>
