Get an access key for the Campaign library

Suggest Edits

To activate the Campaign library within your mobile app, you must upload the app's push certificate to Acoustic Campaign and generate an access key based on the certificate.

Requirements

  • If you have an iOS app, you must use Apple Developer Program membership for it. Free accounts do not support push notifications.
  • You need a developer account for Acoustic Campaign. The account must have the following permissions enabled: Enable Mobile App Push and Enable Development for Mobile App Push.

Before you begin

Before you begin, make sure the following conditions are met.

Your Android app must be registered with Firebase. See Add Firebase to your Android project in the Firebase guide.

  • Your iOS project must use an explicit App ID and be assigned to a team. For the App ID, the push notification service must be enabled.
  • In your iOS project, the Push Notifications capability must be enabled. For instructions, see Adding capabilities to your app in the Xcode guide.
  • Your app must be registered with Apple Push Notification service (APNs). You can use either of the following authentication methods to secure connection to APNs: token-based (p8) (recommended by Apple) or certificate-based (p12).

Important

The provisioning profile must match the push certificate. For example, a development provisioning profile works with a development push certificate.
