You published your app to Google Play store directly from /bin ?

Can you give us a link to your app ( just out of curiosity here ) .

But besides that , long story short you can't update your app since you've lost your keystore.

Keystores are unique and with that said they can't be reproduced ( anyone welcomed to say otherwise ).

The only option I see here is to unpublish your app , change your package name and republish it . But take into consideration you will loose your current users.

Please for the future when you build an app. use Android Tools -> Export Signed Application .

Also look into Proguard for obfuscation : http://developer.android.com/tools/help/proguard.html
