A Google Play JSON key is needed to deploy your app to the Google Play Store.

1) Log into the Google Cloud Platform here. On the new page, click the burger button in the top left corner, then select IAM & Admin > Service Accounts.

​

2. Click the burger button in the top left corner, then select IAM & Admin > Create a Project.

3. On the New Project screen, enter the app name as the Project Name. Leave the location as is, then select 'Create'.

4. Once created, you'll be directed to the below page. Please select 'Create Service Account'.
​

In the pop up make sure the following information is correct:

Click 'Done' once the above is filled out.

5. You will now see the below page with a service account created. Select the account (hyperlinked):

6. Select 'Add Key':

7. Choose 'Create New Key':

8. Choose 'JSON', then select 'Create':

9. This'll download the JSON file to your PC.

Once you have downloaded your JSON File head back to 'Setup' > 'API Access' on the Google Play Console (this is the page from earlier just before we were redirected to the Google Cloud Platform).

Once there in the Credentials > Service accounts section, you'll see the service account you just created. You now need to copy this email address.

Once you have copied the email address head to 'Users and permissions' then choose 'Invite new user'

On the page that opens, paste the copied email address in to the 'Email address' Section and leave 'Access expiry' unchecked. Then choose 'Account permissions', check 'Admin (All permissions)' then 'Invite user'.

Click 'Send invite' on the confirmation pop up.

Then in the 'Users and permissions' section the service account email address should be there with an active status and 'Never expires' underneath.

In the app builder, upload your JSON file you previously downloaded.

Submit for development, but if you're not ready then save and exit.
