How do I get the app_identifier ?

I setup this widget, but all time I have a zero digit as result

What did I do wrong?

Did you configure the google.yml file?

My folder structure is:

• dashing
• dashboards
• config
• - google.yml
• jobs
• - google.rb
• widgets
• - google
• - google.coffee
• - google.html
• - google.scss

- public

My google.yml file looks like this:

app_identifier: "com.standardlife.myportfollio"
show_detail_rating: false

I didnt change any other file at all. Initially, I had put the app id in the .rb file, but then realised it got this from the yml instead. Look at your debug logs in the console, does it say 'app identifier cannot be found'? If so, try my app identier and see if that works to help debug.

Gd luck

You can get the app identifier by browsing to Google play on chrome, finding the app, then looking in the address bar.
Here is mine for instance:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.standardlife.myportfollio

I get a Error: uninitialized constant MarketBot::Android when starting dashing. Any ideas?

@levabd and @noloco: try to install a prior version of market_bot in your Gemfile. I tried the 0.15.0 version and then it worked:

'market_bot', '0.15.0'

@rogervalles @levabd @noloco Alternatively, you don't need an older market_bot, you just need to change the constant in the script from MarketBot::Android to MarketBot::Play and it should work just fine with the latest version. I know this is 1 year too late, but maybe it will help someone else in the future.

I keep getting the error like 'Error: undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass'. I've tried everything that has been mentioned in this section but all in vain. Can someone help me out please @xelprep @rogervalles @MarkySparky
