after importing the der file to the key store as follow

keytool -keystore my-release-key.keystore  -importcert 
    -file ~/Downloads/upload_cert.der  -alias uploadcert

I get an error when trying to assemble release APK

trusted certificate entries are not password-protected

If I add 

-protected

to the import, I geth 

keytool error: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: password can't be null

and if I pass the password after -protected I get usage help message. not sure how to pass the password.

Any idea if I am on the right path to sign with google upload certificate der file ?

Got the same problem and password can't be null problem may be passed by editing the comment like: 

keytool -keystore parkimayaz.keystore  -importcert -file 
~/Downloads/upload_cert.der  -alias uploadcert -keypass "yourpass" -
storepass "yourpass"

Another info I used characters like (',#,^) on the password part which gave me some errors.

also please take a look at oracle keytool docs
