Create a service account in Google Cloud Console

A service account is a special Google account that Adapty will use to access your Google projects and apps.

Before you start

Enable the Developer APIs in the same Google Cloud project. The service account has nothing to call until they’re on.

Create the service account

  1. Open IAM & Admin > Service accounts in Google Cloud Console, and confirm you’re in the right project.

    Service accounts page in Google Cloud Console with the Create service account button

  2. Click Create service account.

  3. Enter a Service account name. Include “Adapty” in it to make the account’s purpose obvious. The Service account ID field fills in automatically.

  4. Copy the account’s Email address. You will use it to share the necessary Play Console permissions.
