# Set up your app

Create your app in Mobile Joe before you install an SDK. Its public SDK key connects your mobile app to the content you publish there.

## Create an account

Sign up at [app.mobilejoe.dev](https://app.mobilejoe.dev/) and verify your email address. The API only answers SDK requests while the account's email address is verified and a trial or subscription is active.

## Create an app

Open the app switcher and choose **Create app**. Create one app in Mobile Joe per mobile app: its iOS and Android versions share the app, its SDK key, and its content.

## Copy the public SDK key

Open **App Settings** and copy the **Public API Key**. The key ships inside your app binary. It reads published content, registers devices, and records votes, but it cannot change content.

[App Settings → Set up SDK](https://app.mobilejoe.dev/setup) shows the configuration with your key filled in, a prompt for your coding agent, and a live check that confirms the first connection of your app.

## Publish a FAQ

Both quickstarts verify the integration with a published FAQ. Open **FAQs** , create a FAQ with a recognizable question and answer, then choose **Publish → Publish now**. Drafts never reach your app; see [Content delivery](https://docs.mobilejoe.dev/sdk/content-delivery.md).

## Next steps

Install the SDK with the [iOS quickstart](https://docs.mobilejoe.dev/ios/quickstart.md) or the [Android quickstart](https://docs.mobilejoe.dev/android/quickstart.md), or let your [coding agent](https://docs.mobilejoe.dev/coding-agents.md) do it.
