Security Profiles

Hi, the GameCircle documentation describes how to add the debug-store signature to a security profile and this worked for me. But I can't find enough information about how to add released apps. I sign releases myself, but if I understand right, this is replaced by Amazon (so I don't know the release signature). Note: The package names of my development/test/debug version and the released version are intentionally different. How do I know if my signature is replaced by Amazon? How can I add a released app to a profile? (which signature) Must a release contain the api_key.txt? Thanks, Gereon

Hi Apshift, Sorry for late response and thank you for post. When we process your app to allow distribution through Amazon, our technology over-writes your private signature with Amazon's by default. Yes, this is desired that your app, which is integrated with GameCircle, should contain api_key.txt (with a valid api key) in the assets folder of it's apk, but since the app is signed with Amazons signature, we replace the api key that is associated with the certificate we use to sign the apk. So you need to only ensure that the GameCircle functionality works fine in the app with the api key which is associated with release certificate. You need to link your app to a security profile. If an app is not linked to a security profile, the system would not replace the api_key.txt. Please refer this link for clear understanding about linking an app to a security profile : https://developer.amazon.com/sdk/gamecircle/documentation/gamecircle-config.html#Section3

Hi, many thanks for your info! Ok, my app is linked with a security profile. Does this mean, that the api_key.txt in an uploaded release is automatically replaced by Amazon with the correct key for that security profile? Thanks, Gereon

Yes. You are correct. During the ingestion process, the api key is replaced.
