-    As a reminder, these keys are generated for you when you created your CodePush app via the CLI. If you need to retrieve them, you can simply run `appcenter codepush deployment list --app <ownerName>/<appName> --displayKeys`, and grab the key for the specific deployment you want to use (e.g. `Staging`, `Production`). App IDs can be retreived by running `appcenter apps list`.

If you're only developing for a single platform, then you only need to specify the deployment key for either Android or iOS.*
