Out of curiosity, why not just make a php page which does all the functions for the application rather than having each use generate their own API key, that way it keeps your key away from prying eyes, it allows remote updates rather than having to get people to update their client for every update and it's much more tidier.
All it needs to do is throw a few GET or POST requests at the php page and use the results.
Think of it as an API for an API.
