• You will require a Firebase account for Android & an Apple developer account for iOS

Add a new app to your onesignal account, give it the same name as your application in Zapable

Select Android to start

Now go to your Firebase console and if not done yet, create a new application

Or follow the onesignal documentation

Go back to your firebase console homepage, then click on the gear on the top left of the page,

then open the Cloud messaging tab

Click on the three dots beside API Cloud Messaging (old version) then activate the API

Go back to this page and reload, now you have access to both a server key and a sender id

Now that your application is created & configured, you can paste your keys in OneSignal

Then paste your app id and key

After what you will be able to import older devices
