Is it possible to use the same certificate for signing an app in debug and release? Why does there even have to be two separate certificates?

Debug certificate is used during development.
Release certificate is used when you need to distribute your app via Google Play.
If you don’t want to distribute your app via Google, then perhaps you may stick to debug certificate. Note that debug shows/handle more of the logging stuff and makes your app run a little slower because of this.
