          Android users getting 'invalid API signature' - everything appears to be fine on my end (I'm running it on 3.8.7) - and ideas

          I've reinstalled everything and created a new key but no change.

              Is there a specific problem you're having? Did you generate your api key?

              Please start your own thread with your own info, but I would suggest reuploading your mobile api files.

                  You don't give to a actual person you input it into the mobile suite publisher (compiler) at members.vbulletin.com (note it won't appear until after you have purchased the mobile suite)

                    The mobile api key is only if you have a mobile suite, or another program that connects to the vBulletin Mobile API. never show your api key to the public.
