Play Store Setup

1. Create a new project in Google Cloud Console

Go to console.cloud.google.com, sign in, and create a new project (or select an existing one). Give it a recognisable name such as "Play Store API".

2. Enable the Android Publisher API

Inside your project, go to APIs & Services → Library and search for "Google Play Android Developer API". Click it and click "Enable".

3. Create a Service Account

Go to IAM & Admin → Service Accounts and click "Create Service Account". Give it a name, then grant it the "Service Account Token Creator" role and click "Done".

4. Generate & download the JSON key

Click on your new service account, go to the "Keys" tab, click "Add Key" → "Create new key", choose JSON, and click "Create". The key file will be downloaded automatically.

5. Grant access in Play Console

Go to play.google.com/console → Setup → API access. Link to the same Google Cloud project, find your service account in the list, and click "Grant access". Assign at least the Release Manager permission and save.

6. Add the JSON key in Apporb

Go to Settings → Play Store Credentials. Click "+ Add Credential", give it a display name, and upload the JSON key file you downloaded in step 4.
