Google Play Automatic Deployment
Please note, automatic submissions only work for existing apps on Google Play. Your first build for a new app must be uploaded manually.
PLEASE NOTE: The Google Play Services API Key is a different file to your google-services.json file. The google-services.json file created in our Android Push Notifications doc is used within your app to connect to firebase and facilitate Android Push Notifications and is normally labelled google-services.json. The Google Play Services API Key is used on our build server to facilitate sending your completed app to Google Play and will usually take the form of a file name like "api-1234567890.json". Mixing up these two files will cause errors.
Setting up your first project
- Register a Google Play Developer Account. If you already have a Google Play Developer account, and have already deployed your app to Google Play Store, skip this step
- Go through the Prepare & roll out steps.
Setting up Google Play API access
- Link your API project by Creating a new API project or Using an existing API project.
- Click on Create a new service account. The instructions will redirect to Google API Console. Specify a service account name. No roles are needed for the service account.
- Create a private key (JSON format) and download it now because you will need it later.
- Grant the necessary permissions to the service account on the Play Console. Check out the Google Play Developer API guide if you need more information on the process.
- Once you have the downloaded key file - you can now go into your https://myapppresser.com application dashboard and visit the BUILDS menu item tab, on the left side of the screen.
Once in the builds tab - you can upload the JSON key file
- Once uploaded, you are good to go.
