Google Play Api - Apk Upload.md

In Google Developer Console inside your app project, on the Credentials section, you must create a new "Service Account" "Client ID", if you have not already. And download the JSON file.

On Google Play Developer Console you have to give permissions to "YOUR_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_EMAIL@developer.gserviceaccount.com" for uploading apks.

Installation

Download Google APIs Client Library for Python (google-api-python-client): https://code.google.com/p/google-api-python-client/ or use pip:

  $ pip install google-api-python-client

Execution

  python basic_upload_apks_service_account.py -p your.package.name -a apk-file.apk -s service_account.json

Based on https://github.com/googlesamples/android-play-publisher-api/tree/master/v2/python

Thanks! Had to fork and update the gist to fit the latest API changes, found here: https://gist.github.com/mix3d/665f4ab329b4482297a2f425ebba402c but working great!
