  2. If this is your first time, you might need to create a new Google Cloud project. Click Select a project in the top header.

  3. The App Information section includes required items like App Name and User Support Email. Enter your email again under Developer Contact Email. This email is only shown while you go through the OAuth flow to authorize NestMTX to access your account. Click SAVE AND CONTINUE. Other unnecessary information (e.g., logo) is optional and can be skipped.

  7. The warning says your app will be available to your test/developer account without Google’s Approval and invites you to click on the App Verification screen if someone finds the URL. This does not require your Google Account to host this app.
