Hey everyone.... @roy @jcalle @Christoph 1) In the bb general settings for amazon there's a space for amazon api key. How do I get this key in the amazon developer console. 2) I recently submitted my game with an android apk. Should I export amazon from bb instead of android? My game does have in app purchases. Are one of these two API keys what needs to go in the bb settings? Developer Publishing API Keys App ID - amzn1.devportal.mobileapp.65329f0...................... Release ID - amzn1.devportal.apprelease.c686d........................ Thanks
You don't need to worry about it. Its very new addition too. Amazon repackage your app and each developer has a unique ID/SHA/key. I export my app in the normally way using my keycode etc and send it to Amazon. With IAPs for amazon, the method that works for me is In the IAP dashboard, your SKU must match the IAP ID in your game.

Thank you very much for all your informative replies. When you say IAP ID are you talking about the store identifiers? I submitted an android version to amazon with the store identifiers matching the SKU's in the IAP dashboard. I did not submit the game for the underground but it was still available there. I downloaded the underground app on my android device, and downloaded the game from underground. But when I tapped an in app purchase it said, "Error you need to be logged into your google account." Then after tapping again it simply does nothing. I wonder if I submit an amazon version from bb and include the "Amazon API Key" in the bb settings if it would work? I appreciate all your help - Danny
Yes IAP ID and store identifiers must match on Amazon as I outlined above. Your app wont be available on Underground, as you must submit it as per the Underground rules. You can try adding the Amazon API key as it is something new - and that part may have changed, but when I used Unity just this week, I didn't place the API key and everything works. You may want to check your export settings and make sure that you've set up the App Info for Amazon and exported it for Amazon because it sounds like you're using a Google version - which wont work on Amazon ( different billing methods etc).
Hmm I wonder why it's available in the underground app? Ok yes I believe it would work with an amazon export from bb. But the settings have an amazon api key field. Can you tell me how to get this key. I tried everywhere in the amazon developer help section.
The API key comes from Game circle. So if you add Leaderboards and achievements(I don't think BB has achievements) - so Leaderboards. It has nothing to do with billing.
