Configuring developer account

Who can do it: Service provider
Where: Wialon Platform Studio

Before building and publishing white-labeled apps, you must configure your developer account credentials. These credentials are used to sign app binaries and enable push notifications. They are configured once and apply to all builds.

The Developer account tab on the Sites and apps page contains three sections:

• Android: Signing credentials for publishing to the Google Play Store.
• iOS: Signing credentials for publishing to the Apple App Store.
• Firebase: Service account credentials for push notifications across all your apps.

Each section shows a status indicator. When the settings are saved, the status reads Section settings saved.

The Android section stores the release keystore used to sign Android app builds. You need these credentials to publish your white-labeled app to the Google Play Store.

To configure the Android developer account settings:

1. In Wialon Platform Studio, go to the Sites and apps page.

2. Open the Developer account tab.

   

3. Select Android from the left panel.

4. In the Keystore area, upload your keystore file. Click the upload area or drag and drop the file. Recommended format: .keystore. Maximum size: 10 MB.

5. Enter the Keystore password.

6. Enter the Key alias (the name assigned to your key inside the keystore).

7. Enter the Key password.

8. Click Save.

Use the Google Play Console button to open your Google Play Console.

Keep your keystore file and passwords safe. Losing them means you can’t update your app in the future.

The iOS section stores the distribution certificate used to sign iOS app builds. You need these credentials to publish your white-labeled app to the Apple App Store.

To configure the iOS developer account settings:

1. On the Developer account tab, select iOS from the left panel.

   

2. In the Certificate area, upload your distribution certificate file. Click the upload area or drag and drop the file. Recommended format: .p12. Maximum size: 10 MB. If you don’t have a distribution certificate, generate one in your Apple Developer account. See Apple documentation.

3. Enter the Certificate password.

4. Click Save.

Use the App Store Connect button in the Connection settings section to open App Store Connect.

Keep your certificates backed up. If they expire or are lost, you need to regenerate them to update your app.

The Firebase section stores the service account credentials required for push notifications. These settings apply to push notifications across all your apps.

To configure Firebase settings:

1. On the Developer account tab, select Firebase from the left panel.

   

2. Click the Firebase Console button to go to Firebase Console. Generate the service account key on the Service accounts tab and save the downloaded JSON file.

3. In the Service account JSON key area, upload the downloaded Firebase service account file. Click the upload area or drag and drop the file. Recommended format: JSON. Maximum size: 10 MB.

4. Click Save.

To use push notifications in your apps, you must also enable the Push notifications toggle and upload the Google Services configuration file in the per-build Driver app configuration. See the full instruction in the Configuring push notifications section.
