Configuring Android MemberPress App

Android app configuration requires Application ID setup, KeyStore certificate generation, and Application ID registration in Google Play Console. This document explains how to configure Application ID, generate and import KeyStore certificates, and register the Application ID.

Understanding Application ID Requirements

Application ID uniquely identifies the app on the Google Play Store. Application ID must consist of at least two dot-separated segments following specific formatting rules. Proper Application ID configuration prevents conflicts with other applications.

Application ID formatting requirements include:

• At least two dot-separated segments;
• Each segment starts with a letter;
• Contains only letters, numbers, and underscores;
• Unused by any other app on Google Play;
• Test builds append .test to the Application ID.

Setting Application ID

Application ID configuration occurs within Android Settings.

1. Naviguez jusqu'à Dashboard > MP App > Configure > Android Settings.

2. Localiser le App Configuration section.
3. Enter the chosen Application ID in the Application ID field.

4. Cliquez sur Enregistrer les modifications.

Application ID reservation occurs through Google Play Console registration to prevent conflicts with other applications.

Generating KeyStore Certificate

KeyStore certificate generation creates the signing certificate required for Android app builds.

1. Naviguez jusqu'à Dashboard > MP App > Tools > Generate KeyStore.
2. Saisir un KeyStore Password in the password field.
3. Saisir un KeyStore Alias in the alias field or leave blank for automatic generation.

4. Entrer Prénom in the first name field.
5. Entrer Nom de famille in the last name field.
6. Optionally enter Organisation in the organization field.

7. Complete remaining certificate details as desired.
8. Cliquez sur Générer to create the KeyStore.
9. Check the confirmation checkbox acknowledging KeyStore backup responsibility.
10. Cliquez sur Télécharger to save the ZIP file containing the KeyStore.

Remarque : Store the KeyStore ZIP file securely. Lost KeyStores cannot be replaced and are required for all future app updates.

Importing KeyStore Certificate

KeyStore import adds the generated certificate to WordPress for build signing.

1. Naviguez jusqu'à Dashboard > MP App > Configure > Android Settings.

2. Localiser le KeyStore Information section.
3. Cliquez sur Importation to open the file selector.

4. Select the downloaded KeyStore ZIP file.
5. Cliquez sur Enregistrer les modifications to finalize the import.

Remarque : Imported KeyStore enables Android build generation with proper app signing.

Registering Application ID with Google Play

Application ID registration reserves the identifier and prevents others from claiming it.

1. Generate a Release App build under Dashboard > MP App > Build.
2. Log in to Google Play Console at play.google.com/console.
3. Naviguez jusqu'à All apps and select the app.
4. Cliquez sur Release > Production in the sidebar.
5. Cliquez sur Create new release to start creating the release.
6. Localiser le App bundles section.
7. Cliquez sur Télécharger to open the file selector.
8. Select the AAB file built with the Application ID.
9. Cliquez sur Économiser to register the Application ID.

Remarque : Once registered, all future builds must use the exact Application ID. Application ID cannot be changed after registration.
