In-App Purchase Configuration

Elite Quiz verifies coin and Remove Ads purchases directly with Apple and Google before crediting them to a user, so the Admin Panel needs valid store credentials configured. This guide covers setting up store credentials in your Admin Panel for both Android (Google Play) and App Store (iOS).

Prerequisites

Android (Google Play) Configuration​

Configure the following settings so the Admin Panel can verify Android purchases:

1. App Package Name​

  1. Go to Admin Panel > Settings > In-App Settings.
  2. Enter your Android app's package name in the App Package Name field (e.g., com.yourcompany.elitequiz).
  3. Ensure this package name matches your Flutter app's applicationId in android/app/build.gradle.

In-App Purchase Settings

2. Connect Firebase / Service Account to Play Console​

This allows the Admin Panel to verify purchases with Google Play.

  1. Go to Admin Panel > Settings > In-App Settings.

  2. Copy the Firebase Client Email (shown in the settings).

  3. Open Google Play Console.

  4. Go to Users and permissions and click Invite new users.

  5. Paste the Firebase Client Email you copied.

  6. In the Permissions section, click Add App under the App permissions tab.

  7. Select your app and click Apply.

  8. Select Admin (all permissions) and click Apply.

  9. Click Invite user.

⏱️ Important: Wait Time Required​

Google Play needs time to process these permission changes. This is normal.

  • Minimum wait: 2-4 hours before testing Android purchases.

App Store (iOS) Configuration​

Configure the following items so the Admin Panel can verify iOS purchases and receive real-time purchase notifications from Apple.

1. Issuer ID, Key ID, and Private Key (.p8)​

Where: App Store Connect → Users and Access → Integrations → App Store Connect API
Link: App Store Connect API

Steps:

  1. Log in to App Store Connect with an Admin or Account Holder role.
  2. Go to Users and Access → Integrations → App Store Connect API.
  3. Click the Keys tab — make sure you're on In-App Purchase keys, not Team Keys.
  4. Click + to generate a new key.
  5. Give it a name (e.g., IAP Server Key) and select the In-App Purchase key type.
  6. Click Generate.
  7. Copy the Key ID shown in the table.
  8. Download the .p8 file — you can only download it once, so save it securely.
  9. Copy the Issuer ID shown at the top of the page.
  10. Open the .p8 file in a text editor and paste the full contents — including the -----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY----- and -----END PRIVATE KEY----- lines — into the Private Key field in the Admin Panel.
Save the .p8 file securely

Apple only lets you download the private key file once. If you lose it, you'll need to revoke the key and generate a new one.

iOS In-App Settings

2. Bundle ID​

Where: App Store Connect → Apps → [Your App] → General → App Information
Links: App Store Connect Apps · Apple Developer Portal – Identifiers

Enter your iOS app's bundle identifier, e.g., com.yourcompany.elitequiz.

3. Environment Selection​

Choose which Apple environment the Admin Panel should verify purchases against:

  • Sandbox (Testing): Use this during development and testing.
  • Production: Switch to this once your app is live on the App Store.

In-App Purchase Configuration

Important Security Notes​

  • The API key must be of type In-App Purchase — App Store Connect team keys of other types will not work for purchase verification.
  • For production, your server URL must be HTTPS on a public domain — 127.0.0.1 and local IP addresses cannot receive store callbacks.
