• Create service account (In 3rd step you will get option to create the key), store that key, that will be used to upload apk to playstore
• Go to https://play.google.com/apps/publish
• Go to Settings -> Developer account -> API access
• Now, Grant permission to service account we created (Choose role as a release manager) -> click Add user
