Connecting apps

Checks works with apps for Android and for iOS. See Preparing apps for analysis for steps to getting your app ready for Checks.

Connect additional apps to your Checks account

Once your Checks account is created and your first app is added, you may connect other Android and iOS apps to the account.

Google Play apps

Checks automatically verifies you as the owner of an Android app. You must have Play Console Admin app level access to the apps to be connected to the Checks account. Connect an Android app as follows:

1. In the Checks dashboard, click the cog button to open the Settings for the app.

2. Click the Connect apps button.

3. Select Android app and in the Application ID field enter the application ID that identifies your app in Google Play.

   Tip: The Application ID is a string that uniquely identifies your app in the Google Play Store, and often follows the pattern of a qualified Java package name, like com.example.myapp. The quickest way to find the Android application ID is by looking at the URL for your app's Play Store listing:
   https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id={application-id}

4. Click Connect app.

iOS apps

Checks does not automatically verify ownership of iOS apps. The Checks Review Team will review all iOS apps before adding them to your account. Connect an iOS app as follows:

1. In the Checks dashboard, click the cog button to open the Settings for the app.

2. Click the Connect apps button.

3. Select iOS app and enter the App Store URL and Privacy policy URL for your iOS app.

4. Click Connect app.

5. Within 24-48 hours, the Checks Review Team will verify that you are permitted to authorize access to the app before adding it to your account.
