I'm not a developer, but a graphic that needs to publish a digital kiosk magazine made with twixl platform.

I followed the steps of the twixl documentation to create a Sender ID for notifications on Android (FCM/GCM). I created an app where I associated a Sender ID (API key) and everything worked. I also have the statistics for a few days in which the app was active.

For certificate problems, however, I had to cancel this publication and do another, from the same account (app@pizzanew.it).

In Google Cloud Platform, I deleted the old project and I created a new one. Now, when I go to the Google Developer Console to associate a new id, it tells me that the value of API Key is not valid.

It may be that it is linked to the old app or in some way that I do not know? But the old app is no longer published.

I do not know how to do it, but I must be able to set this id for notifications. I configured only general information of the new app, but it has not yet been published, and I have not uploaded the new APK. May it's because of it?

Appreciate any help.

  • So are you sure you change sender id in android manifest because is different – Paraskevas Ntsounos Sep 08 '16 at 13:53
  • Something's bothering me in your post -- *I created an app where I associated a **Sender ID (API key)** and everything worked.* -- The Sender ID and API key (more commonly known as Server Key) are different. See https://developers.google.com/cloud-messaging/gcm – AL. Sep 09 '16 at 08:39
  • I use a platform and I can't control manifest file. I can only insert data in my console developer google play. I deleted the first project and its api key, and ricreated another project and another api key. Both (the first project that I deleted, and the new) are refered to the same account. – Maura Trolese Sep 12 '16 at 09:26

There are two concept to understand:

sender-id : this is the ID of the project in Google Cloud Console (for old projects) or Firebase Console (for new projects)

server-key : (also referred as API-Key) this is the "password" for your server to send messages.

If you want to change your SENDER-ID:

  1. create a new Firebase Project: https://firebase.google.com
  2. read the SenderId & Server-Key in the settings
    (Where can I find the API KEY for Firebase Cloud Messaging?)
  3. update the sender-id in all the configurations you have
    (if you are using the FCM sdk you need to download the new google-services.json file)

PS: you should be able to undelete the old project from Google Cloud Platform if you need to keep the same sender-id. But new projects should be created in Firebase Console, and old projects who need a new server-key should import the old project into the Firebase Console.

  • hello diego, thank you very much for your help. Are you italian? Can I write in italian? As I answeres to your colleagues, I use an already structured platform so I can not operate on the code file. I can only put the sender id in the build publisher of platform and the api key in developer google console. – Maura Trolese Sep 12 '16 at 09:54
  • Now, because I created and deleted some projects to try to solve, I can not even more to set the type of credentials. Is there a service number to call and ask to google assistance to do a check on my account, helping me to understand where is the problem? – Maura Trolese Sep 12 '16 at 09:55
