Help! I have lost the release key which I used to sign apk builds in Android Studio. Can I get/extract that release Key info from apk? I have already tried to make a new key with almost the same info but the time/validity info is unable to match. And now I am unable to install the update on the apk already installed version on mobile.

If you could extract the key from an APK, an attacker could steal it. If you're sure you lost it, nothing can be done i'm afraid.
