Troubleshooting

API Key Issues

Problem: "Invalid API Key" error

Solution:

• Verify your API key at API Keys page
• Ensure the API key has proper permissions
• Check that you're using the correct environment

Build Upload Fails

Problem: Upload fails or times out

Solution:

• Check your internet connection
• For large builds (>5GB), consider using the CLI tool
• Verify you have enough storage space in your plan

Export Preset Not Found

Problem: "No export preset found" error

Solution:

• Go to Project > Export in Godot
• Add export presets for your target platforms
• Configure the presets with required settings

Best Practices

Build Optimization

1. Compress Textures: Use appropriate texture compression for your target platforms
2. Remove Debug Symbols: Use Release builds for production
3. Strip Unused Resources: Remove unused assets before building
4. Test Export Presets: Verify export presets work correctly before uploading

Version Management

1. Use semantic versioning (e.g., 1.0.0, 1.1.0, 2.0.0)
2. Write clear build notes for each upload
3. Test in Development/Staging before pushing to Production
4. Keep track of which version is in each environment

Security

1. Never commit API keys to version control
2. Use different API keys for different environments
3. Rotate API keys periodically
4. Limit API key permissions to only what's needed
