IAP For Dummies

JohnGaby · July 2013

I am looking at the sample IAP app and am a bit confused. At the top of the activity file it has the comment:

/**

* Log onto the developer website (you should have received a URL, a username and a password in email)

* and get your developer ID. Plug it in here. Use your developer ID, not your developer UUID.

* <p/>

* The current value is just a sample developer account. You should change it.

*/

When I look on my developer portal I only see a 'developer UUID' which it specifically tells me not to use. Is there a separate developer id, or is the UUID the one that I should use?

Second, is the 'APPLICATION_KEY' that is referenced in the sample supposed to be set to the contents of the binary 'key.der' file that I can download for my application?

Finally while looking for information about the developer id, I find numerous references to a 'OuyaGameObject' which takes the id, yet I cannot find that object anywhere in the sample code or the documentation.

Can anyone shed some light?

Thanks.

In the developer portal, add a new game. Fill out the details, but do not submit a binary file. This will give you an entry in your list of games and a link to download the key.der file for that game.

Thanks for the response.

I have already done that and gotten the key.der file, but I wanted to know if that binary data was what was to be used in place of the 'APPLICAION_KEY' data in the sample app.

Since I posted, I went ahead and gave it a try, and it seems that that is correct. I have also found that the 'developer UUID' as shown on the developer page is indeed the id to use for the 'DEVELOPER_ID' field in the example, despite the comment indicating otherwise.

Thanks again.

You shouldn't need to hardcode the application key. That comes from your signing key in the developer portal. And usually goes into res/raw/key.der.

The developer key (for OuyaGameObject) comes from the developer portal.

Yes, reading the key.der file from the assets is much better. Your sample app should have done it that way.

I do seem to have the in-app purchases working now.

Thanks for your help.

My Unity Show Products example does it that way.

Howdy, Stranger!
