Apple iOS

  • Register as an organisation here. If you already have a developer account you can bypass this step.

  • To allow deployment of your iOS app we will first need an API key. You can generate it by following the guides here.

Google Android

  • Register for a Google Play Developer account here. If you already have a developer account you can bypass this step.

  • To allow deployment of your Android app we will first need an API key. You can generate it by following the guides below:


Step 1: Sign up

To begin, sign up or log in to the Google Cloud Console here:

Once you have signed up, select the dropdown at the top of the screen. This will open a new window

If you don't have a project already you can create one by clicking the New Project option.

Step 2: Enable the Google Developer API

Now your project is selected you can enable the Google Play Android Developer API. This will allow you to create an API key.

Navigate to the above link and select Enable. This can also be found on the side menu by navigating to "APIs & Services -> Library"

Step 3: Create a service account

You will now need to create a service account. Navigate to the Service accounts page and select "Create Service Account". This can be found under IAM & Admin -> Service Accounts.

The Service account name and ID are for your own reference so can be whatever you choose. Once these options are filled out click Done.

Step 4: Generate an API Key

Now select the three dots, this will bring up a drop down menu. Select the 'Manage keys' option.

From here, select 'Add Key' and from the drop down menu select 'Create new key'.

Select JSON and click 'Create'.

This will download the API Key to your device. Please do not lose this.

You will see a message similar to this:

Step 5: Manage Permissions

Now navigate back to the Google Play Console https://play.google.com/console/. We need to link your Google Play account to your new Service account.

To do this navigate to the "Users and Permissions" tab in the left menu and select "Invite new users".

You will need to invite the email of your service account which can be found in the Email column of the Service Accounts page here https://console.cloud.google.com/iam-admin/serviceaccounts/.

Once the email address has been entered select the Account Permissions tab at the bottom of the window. From here please select the "Admin (all permissions)" option and click "Invite User".

Congratulations, you are done! Please make sure to send us the key you have generated to allow us to submit and update your apps to the Google Play Store.
