Authentication

To enable Shield protection in your compilations, you need to associate it with your ByteHide account. This ensures synchronization and streamlines the process for you.

If you haven't obtained your PROJECT TOKEN yet, please retrieve it from the ByteHide panel before proceeding.

How to get my project token

JSON file

1. Add a new item: JSON file

This JSON file must be added to the same project where you installed ByteHide Shield Integration:

Add Shield msbuild api token

2. Name it shield.config.json

Name the file shield-config.json

3. Open the recently added .json file and write your project token

{
  "Name": "My Configuration",
  "ProjectToken": "e34762f8-8ad6-0000-0000-000000000000"
}

The project token and file structure in your case will differ from the example provided.

Your file should resemble the following:

Edit shield-config.json

Remember, you can acquire and configure your JSON file:
