I am trying to add google-services.json to the project. in Android studio, i navigated to 'project' view and i added 'google-services.json' to 'app' directory.
Then, I opened 'google-services.json' file and the only change i t did to it, is adding the project's package name in 'package_name' attribute in 'client' object as shown in google-services.json.
And according to link-1 below, it says:
The main result of the JSON processing is to produce two XML files which you can reference as Android resources in your Java code... in
app/build/generated/res/google-services/{build_type}/values/values.xml
AND.
app/build/generated/res/google-services/{flavor}/{build_type}/xml/global_tracker.xml
but in my case, i got only one .xml file as shown in image-1 below. However, as stated in link-1, one can generates these files manually by creating a .xml file.
I referred to link-1 to know the required values -please have a look at image-2-I tried to generate it but I could not find the values marked with ??????. please have a look at missing-values-file below.
1- please let me know how to find these missing values marked with ??????? in missing-values-file?
2- what is the purpose of server API key and Sender id generated by GCM? why they are not used in the file posted in the section missing-values-file
link-1: here.
**link-2: the configuration file was downloaded from here **
google-services.json: the values that contain 'x' are actually existing but i removed them for security
