Hi, Did you try follow the setup instructions? Step 7 indicates that you need to generate that google-services.json file.

Go generate a google-services.json file by following the instructions here: https://developers.google.com/mobile/add?platform=android You will need to select App Invites API and Google Analytics and enter your SHA-1 of your debug keystore. It will generate a file and you can place that in the module root folder.

I think it is my fault then, cuz i didnt know about the google-services.json file generation :) :+1: App is successfully built now :)

Could you help me understand Step 3? I imported data, but i would like to create my own drawings for kids using Wacom pad :)

If you want to download the actual books, you need to individually download each book and import the files into the parse manually. See the information here: https://www.parse.com/questions/exporting-file-objects-and-importing-to-another-application

Good to hear.

The individual books are created as .zip files, this contains the images in it that the book will use. So when you click the download button in the app, the zip file is downloaded and then unzipped. There is a file in the zip called bookdetails.json - this contains information about how the book should be rendered. It also contains a folder in it called images/ this contains all the images needed in the book. If you want to create a new book, add the different pages into the bookdetails.json file, and place the images in the images folder.

Then you will upload that .zip folder to parse - in the "BookDetail" table, the column "book_download_file".

Attached is a sample book zip file.
