We use Service accounts to update your Android app seamlessly.
It’s a secure tool that connects your app on Google Play to bsport system so we can publish updates automatically, without your manual effort.
Since you own the Google Developer Account, you must create this service account — but don’t worry, we’ll walk you through the simple steps below!
