Does any need to change API key while using GCM 3.0 Instance ID API?

Currently I am integrating GCM 3.0 new registration process for push notification using InstanceID API.

Before that i am using GCM 2.0 register() method for push notifications and for that I have created project on Google developer console and created Server API key for sending push notification to Device

So now as i am migrating to GCM 3.0 by referring this link. while generating configuration file it asks two things:

  1. Choose existing project or create project
  2. Package name of application

By providing these two details it will Auto generate new Server API key but i have already created API key before that.

so is there is any need to change from old API key to new API key or stick to old API key?

Solution

  • No, you can use the old API key.

    As the new process is just a New skin for building the API key and sender-id.
