android - Lost keystore file for app (but have Google Play App Signing enabled)

Question

I have lost the original keystore file used to sign my app with.

My app has Google Play App Signing enabled.

If I contact Google Support is it possible to reset the key so that I can continue uploading to this package? I'm hoping that I can do this because App Signing is enabled, but am not sure if my assumption is correct.

Seems it should work. "Manage your app signing keys With Google Play App Signing, you can securely manage your app signing keys for new or existing apps. Keys are stored on the same secure infrastructure Google uses to store its own keys.

If you lose your keystore or think it may be compromised, Google Play App Signing makes it possible to request a reset to your upload key. If you're not enrolled in Google Play App Signing and lose your keystore, you'll need to publish a new app with a new package name." https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/7384423?hl=en
