# Step 10: Connect Your Visionline Development Account to Seam

To develop your mobile key app, perform the following procedures to connect your Visionline development account to Seam:

1. [Connect your ASSA ABLOY Credential Services development account to Seam.](#connect-credential-services-to-seam)
2. [Connect your Visionline development account to Seam.](#connect-visionline-to-seam)

   This process includes installing and running Seam Bridge to connect your on-premises Visionline application to Seam. For more information, see [Seam Bridge](https://docs.seam.co/latest/capability-guides/seam-bridge).

## Connect Credential Services to Seam

ASSA ABLOY Credential Services stores all the mobile credentials that your application issues. For more information about ASSA ABLOY Credential Services, see the [ASSA ABLOY Credential Services integration guide](https://github.com/seamapi/docs/blob/main/docs/device-and-system-integration-guides/assa-abloy-credential-services-credential-manager.md).

You received a Credential Services development "tenant" account during the [mandatory ASSA ABLOY mobile development course](https://docs.seam.co/latest/device-and-system-integration-guides/assa-abloy-visionline-access-control-system/visionline-acs-setup-instructions/developing-and-launching-your-visionline-mobile-key-app/developing-your-visionline-mobile-key-app/step-1-complete-the-assa-abloy-mobile-development-course). To find out the credentials and details for this account, see [Retrieve Your ASSA ABLOY Credential Services Development Account Details](#retrieve-your-assa-abloy-credential-services-development-account-details). Then, [connect your development Credential Services account to Seam](#connect-credential-services).

   4. Click **Save**.

{% hint style="info" %}
ASSA ABLOY assigns you a preliminary application ID during the development phase. You cannot use this preliminary application ID to connect to live sites. After you receive certification, ASSA ABLOY provides a production application ID that you can use to connect to real sites. This production application ID uniquely identifies your application within both the iOS and Android app stores.

When you obtain certification, you must edit your Seam workspace settings to update this application ID.
{% endhint %}

   [Seam Bridge](https://docs.seam.co/latest/capability-guides/seam-bridge) is a software-only component that enables you to connect on-premises software systems to the Seam platform. Because Visionline is an on-premises ACS, Seam Bridge is required for Visionline systems.
6. Download the Seam Bridge executable onto the on-premises computer that is running Visionline or onto a computer on the same network.

   For systems requirements, see [Seam Bridge](https://docs.seam.co/latest/capability-guides/seam-bridge).
7. Run the downloaded Seam Bridge app.
8. In the **Welcome to Seam Bridge** window, type a name for the site that you are connecting using Seam Bridge and then click **Start pairing**.
9. Copy the pairing code.
