RevenueCat Android Setup
Configure a RevenueCat project so the Android SDK can fetch offerings, validate purchases, and grant entitlements. This skill covers the dashboard side of setup and the service account connection to Google Play.
The scope stops at "dashboard ready, API key in hand." SDK initialization code belongs to the rc-configuring-the-sdk skill.
Phase 1: Discovery
Confirm these items before you touch the RevenueCat dashboard. Missing any of them will block the connection step.
| Prerequisite | Where it lives | Why RevenueCat needs it |
|---|---|---|
| Google Play Console app | Play Console | Dashboard connects by package name |
| Package name | Play Console app listing | Must match your Android app exactly |
| In-app products or subscriptions | Play Console monetization | RevenueCat imports the catalog |
| Base plans for subscriptions | Play Console subscription | Billing Library 6+ requires them |
| Google Cloud service account JSON | Google Cloud Console | RevenueCat authenticates to the Play Developer API |
| Financial data viewer permission | Play Console users and permissions | Service account reads subscription state |
