The file doesn't exist 🤷‍♂️. You maybe meant serviceAccountCredentials = file('/PlayJson/play-store-key.json').

The file doesn't exist 🤷‍♂️. You maybe meant serviceAccountCredentials = file('/PlayJson/play-store-key.json').

I have changed it to serviceAccountCredentials = file('/PlayJson/play-store-key.json') now return error

Json credentials cannot specify a Service Account email

[SUPERCILEX]

Remove serviceAccountEmail.

[superdiazzz]

Remove serviceAccountEmail.

Thank you for quick response. I have removed serviceAccountEmailBut, now i have new error build file '/Users/tribunonline/Desktop/DEVELOPMENT/KOTLIN/KiwariAndroidTest/app/build.gradle' line: 50 A problem occurred evaluating project ':app'.

Could not set unknown property 'jsonFile' for object of type com.github.triplet.gradle.play.PlayPublisherExtension.

[SUPERCILEX]

Remove the line with jsonFile.

[superdiazzz]

Remove the line with jsonFile.

Thank you, Build Success

[SUPERCILEX]

Cool. BTW, I'd highly recommend using the latest version (2.7.5) and not plain 2.0.0.

[superdiazzz]

@SUPERCILEX Okay, i will change it later. Btw, can you help me, what this error mean? it was the result of my pipeline

[SUPERCILEX]

It means that you didn't create an app with that package name in the play console. Or that your credentials don't have access.

[superdiazzz]

Okay, thankyou man
