I'm transferring code from a managed package to a new org.

This line of code

public static string getGeocodingAPIkey(String customSettingName) {
    Google_Geocoding_API__c goecodingCustomSetting = Google_Geocoding_API__c.getValues('Default');
    String geocodingAPIKey = goecodingCustomSetting.Geocoding_API_Key__c;
    return geocodingAPIKey;
}

There is the Google_Geocoding_API__c class. When I go to my list of custom sObjects in the managed package org, it's not there.

enter image description here

The error I'm getting is

Invalid type: Google_Geocoding_API__c

    It's a Custom Setting, not a Custom Object. If it's missing, then you need to create it...

  • @AdrianLarson is there anyway to know that when you look just at the code?

    Yeah, it's the only way getValues, getInstance, or getOrgDefaults would ever work.

For sObjects (or Custom Settings) in a package you need the package prefix. Usually something like packagename__Google_Geocoding_API__c
