Push Notifications API Key

Unity Services
, ,
1

Hello,

I’m trying to setup the Push Notifications service in a Unity Android project.
I have to fill in some values in the Project Settings => Services => Push Notifications.
I have found the Sender ID, Application ID and Project ID in the Firebase console, but I can’t find the API Key.
If I try to run it without the API Key, I get an exception:
“Exception: UGS Push Notifications is missing Android settings - make sure these are set in the editor Project Settings”.

Anyone knows where I can get the API Key?

Thanks in advance,
George

Hey George!

It should be listed in your Firebase Dashboard as “Web API Key”, just below the Project ID (image attached).

I can see our documentation isn’t clear here, so will work with the team to get that updated!

Let us know if you come across any other issues :slight_smile:

Hello Mike,

Thanks for taking the time to answer.
For some reason, my WEB API Key has this greyed-out value: No Web API Key for this project.
I have followed the instructions from here:
https://docs.unity.com/push-notifications/Integration.html
and there is no mention of creating a Web API Key.

Cheers,
George

Hey George,

No problem, always happy to help.

This appears to be a Firebase issue - could you toggle Authentication on in your Firebase project and see if that helps?

More info in this Stack Overflow thread.

Cheers,

Mike
