Error testing AppBuilder sample app

[Adrian]

I've tried in various browsers and every time I get the following error when I try to run the sample app.

The page at app.icenium.com says:
Everlive API Key is not set.


Not a good impression for my first time testing out your platform.

Hello Adrian,

Due to a small regression in the previous release of AppBuilder, you need to manually set your API key in your app to get it running. We are sorry for the inconvenience and have taken care to fix the issue in our next release.

Here is what you need to get your work going with the demo app:

1. In the browser, log in at http://platform.telerik.com and open the Friends App workspace.
2. Open the Backend Services project.
3. In the side bar, click API keys.
4. Copy the value under API key.
5. In the breadcrumbs above, click Friends App.
6. Open the AppBuilder project.
7. In the Project Navigator, open scripts\app\settings.js.
8. On line 8, replace $EVERLIVE_API_KEY$ with the value you obtained on step 4.

Let us know if you need further help. 

Regards,

Hello Stefan,

We have checked with the latest developer version of Chrome and could not reproduce the issue.
If the problem persists could you please try with the old trick of clearing the browser's cache and retry?

Hi Stefan,

We owe you an apology for the not enough precise information.

Due to the already mentioned regression, the Everlive API key which is automatically filled in a dedicated placeholder may incorrectly occur to be also filled into the check that verifies the presence of the API key.

Please, from the project navigation panel at your right, navigate to scripts/app/app.js. The code that does the check is located at line 27. Could you please verify in your project that the line looks like this

var isApiKeySet = (appSettings.everlive.apiKey !== '$EVERLIVE_API_KEY$');

and the value of the API key is not entered there?

If accidentally the value of the API key has been dispatched in the check when building the starting app, please, copy the upper line and paste it in your project.

Once again we would like to offer our apologies for the inconvenience caused.

Regards,
Anton Dobrev

Hi Vijay,

Thank you for contacting the Telerik support system.

If you have followed the instructions by the letter, you shouldn't be experiencing the reported issue. However, during the copy/paste of the API key, any of the following issues might have occurred:

• You might have accidentally left one or all of the $ symbols. Make sure to remove them and try again.
• You might have used the master key instead of the api key.
• In addition, if you have created both the AppBuilder and the Backend Services projects yourself, make sure that the Backend Services project is based on the Friends app (you can pick this option when creating the project).

Hope this helps. Don't hesitate to let us know if you need further assistance.
