hello, i was trying to obtain google services id, by following the instructions given in guides section. when i clicked on 'authorize your app now' tab its showing 'certificate fingerprint is invalid' where did i go wrong? i used the same package name everywhere @sysads @Andy @AndyG @heathclose @OneHitGamer
You have to add app in play services then it will give the ID, next to package name. It says that the fingerprint is invalid, because you have not uploaded the game to the play store, you can publish game services only after you publish your game, or at least upload apk to google play.
You don't authorize your app until after you upload the APK so it sounds like you need to upload a new APK with the correct IDs in place. Before you upload your APK setup the Google Services and Leaderboard so you can copy the IDs and paste them into Buildbox. Then upload your APK and authorize.
Click on Game Services Click your game name and under the game name you see GS ID: To take it further as it likely you might ask where your leaderboard ID is while still on game services and in your game, scroll down and click on Leaderboards There you see your leaderboard ID With regards to 'certificate fingerprint is invalid', did you sign the apk file you tried to upload?
@sysads from BB website and Guides Points 11, 12,13, 14 point 13 authorise your app now? point 14 you should......screen. it says after authorising, application ID (googleplay id) will be generated. this is where i am struck, i am trying to authorise and it says certificate fingerprint invalid. and no i didnt even generate the apk yet as i thought i shd mention the id in the app first.
I think you have some basics you need to learn first to understand how to setup new game in Google Console. OK to answer this issue, you don't need to have an apk generated first to have a game ID generated. - Just create a new game service, enter the game name and click OK. This would generate the GS ID you needed: Then all you need to do is link this to the actual game you created under "All applications" by clicking the "Linked Apps"
yes this is my first game, and i do have a lot to learn. another doubt, how to mention the review link to the game in BB before making apk ?
comon - This is my Review Link below, simply replace the last bit after the equals sign (=) with your game bundle ID https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xxxx.xxxx
