Confused by Amazon deployment

I’m on my 6th attempt to deploy to the Amazon app store and I just can’t seem to wrap my brain around it. 

Oddly enough, they accepted my very first submission, but I suppressed it because it had hard coded credentials. That’s a whole other story and not really relevant.

I have an Android only app and I’m utilizing IAP Badger in order to [seamlessly] target both GP and Amazon. Everything is good, code-wise, but I can’t get the build settings right.  I’ve read a several posts and articles, but they are leading me in circles.

For example, here is a subset of my build.settings file.  If I list the plug-ins like this while targeting Amazon in my build, then I get " Corona: Developer Error : <App> ** does not target the Google Play store, but includes Google Play Services. **

&nbsp; &nbsp;["plugin.firebaseInvites"] = &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; { &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; publisherId = "tech.scotth" &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; }, &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; ["plugin.notifications.v2"] = &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; { &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; publisherId = "com.coronalabs" &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; }, &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; ["plugin.OneSignal"] = &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; { &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; publisherId = "com.onesignal" &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; }, &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; ["plugin.appodeal"] = &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; { &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; publisherId = "com.coronalabs" &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; }, &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; ["plugin.amazon.iap"] = &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; { &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; publisherId = "com.coronalabs", &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; supportedPlatforms = { ["android-kindle"]=true } &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; },&nbsp; &nbsp;

If I modify the build settings like below, then Amazon rejects me with a series of Runtime Errors, one for each plugin  (see the attached image)

&nbsp; &nbsp;["plugin.firebaseInvites"] = &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; { &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; publisherId = "tech.scotth", &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; supportedPlatforms = { android=true } &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; }, &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; ["plugin.notifications.v2"] = &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; { &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; publisherId = "com.coronalabs", &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; supportedPlatforms = { android=true } &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; }, &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; ["plugin.OneSignal"] = &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; { &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; publisherId = "com.onesignal", &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; supportedPlatforms = { android=true } &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; }, &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; ["plugin.appodeal"] = &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; { &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; publisherId = "com.coronalabs", &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; supportedPlatforms = { android=true } &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; }, &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; ["plugin.amazon.iap"] = &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; { &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; publisherId = "com.coronalabs", &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; supportedPlatforms = { ["android-kindle"]=true } &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; },&nbsp; &nbsp;

I’ve tried different combinations, based off of some plugins not being compatible, but every submission gets the same result.

The only thing I haven’t tried is not letting Amazon sign the apk for me and I always say yes to Apply Amazon DRM?

I’m building for Amazon with a production keystore

Windows 10

Version: 3.0.0

Build: 2017.3155

Platform: KFJWI / x64 / 10.0 / Intel® HD Graphics 630 / 4.5.0 - Build 22.20.16.4749 / 2017.3155 / en_US |

Are you specifically building for Amazon in the build dialog?

Simon

#3

Yes, I’ve tried it both ways.  Should I be letting Amazon sign my APK during the publish process or no?

#4

I do - I didn’t find it caused any problems.

Simon

#5

I let Amazon sign it and use DMR. Interesting you get that error for OneSignal. Never have a problem with that plugin. And here is a couple of plugins and how they are set up:

["plugin.OneSignal"] = { publisherId = "com.onesignal" }, ["plugin.applovin"] = { publisherId = "com.coronalabs", supportedPlatforms = { android = true, ["android-kindle"] = true} }, ["plugin.admob"] = { publisherId = "com.coronalabs", supportedPlatforms = { android = true, ["android-kindle"] = true}
