These are the viable possibilities by the Global standard of the app stores and InEvent.

Direct publishing via InEvent with admin access

You can provide InEvent with full admin access, by adding the email store@inevent.com and password default to both the company details page and to the app account store granting us admin access. You should follow this guide: Giving InEvent access to your app stores.

In this case, our team will be responsible for carrying out the app development and publishing processes, such as downloading certificates, file creation, and upload.

For the Google Play Store, you must send us the API Key. Click here to read a guide on how to create the API Key.

File generation with or without certificates: files exportation

This option does not require access to your store account, however is more complex and is recommended to be carried out by an experienced IT professional.

This section is divided per platform.
