    • In addition to enabling the inbox in your Appoxee account, you must also add it to your application's code, as explained in Appoxee Android SDK Integration.

  8. Click Create App. 
    Appoxee generates your SDK Key and Secret Key and allows you to define additional app properties.

    Note

    The SDK Key and Secret Key are unique keys, generated by the Appoxee server for each new app added to your account.
    These keys are embedded in your app and allow it to securely use the Appoxee API.

  9. Go to the Settings section and choose features and settings you wish to enable , including:
    • Allow feedback - improves your application's rating in Google Play.
    • Allow more apps - shows the app user additional
