Recently, we've integrated Play Integrity in our app to prevent emulators and bots. However, some users cannot generate integrity tokens with the following reasons:
Binding to the service in the Play Store has failed. This can be due to having an old Play Store version installed on the device.
Integrity API is not available. The Play Store version might be old, or the application is not allowlisted to use this API.
Binding to the service in the Play Store has failed. This can be due to having an old Play Store version installed on the device.
The suggestion from Google for all of these errors is to Ask the user to update his Play Store. I'm curious is there any way to prompt the user to update his Play Store by redirecting him to the right place in the Play Store app (probably deep link or something)? Of course, we can always just list the steps in-app and let the user do it on his own, but i'm curious if I can improve this process even more?

I want to move an Android application from my current developer account to a new one. I wonder whether the application will be still be available for users to download on Google Play Store, while application is getting transferred to the other developer account. In other words, will there be any interruptions in terms of availability of the app on Google Play Store for users, until the whole transfer process is complete?

to download on Google Play Store
Yes, it will be available.
While application is getting transferred to the other developer
account. In other words, will there be any interruptions in terms of
availability of the app on Google Play Store for users
No. There will be no interruption. Google will check your request. This will take 24 to 48 hours. If this request is accepted the App will be transfered to the new developer account.
I have an app which has the function of install others apps when the user request for it. But it does not redirects the user to Play Store, just download the apk and installs it. When I do that, the Play Store recognize it has been installed if I search for it using the Search Bar, but it does not show the app in "My apps", and does not update this installed apps when there is any update.
What I want to know is, there is a way of check for update for theses apps on the Play Store, and update them? Or, if there is any way of check if there is any update in the Play Store and notify the user to update.
All the apps installed by my application are free in Play Store.
you might use the api from androidquery - here an example call:

I am an Android developer I just uploaded an app in Android market according to client requirement i can download the app and install it but my client cannot download the app it just pops the message like "This item is not available in your country" but i selected all countries while uploading the app,i Surfed internet but i found solution to root phone or to install any software is there any other solution which could help me
Some years late to the party, and Android Market has since been renamed to Google Play Store, still:
There's no need for a rooted phone.
Your client should find the appropriate app settings for the Google Play Store (or Android Market) app, and choose Force Stop. When next run, your client's Play Store app will retrieve account settings from a server, rather than using some cached value, and your app should install cleanly after that.
Google Play support says:
You can only change your Play country once per year.
When you change your country, you won’t be able to use your Google Play balance that you have in your old country in your new country.
So, avoid Google Play and use another market app. I suggest either:
APKPure
Aptiode
Both allow auto-updating apps.
I have an app in Play Store. This same app is going to be pre-installed in some phones. The app is signed with the same key and application package is same. In this case, does Play Store count this install and show it in Developer Console statistics?
(When the Play Store has a newer version of the app, I could update the pre-installed app to the newer version through Play Store. And this is reflected in statistics as an upgrade. This is expected behaviour)
yes all things are correct. Play store manage all apps by its pakagename so if it already available and you update your app on play store then it is counted by play store.and one more thing is play store automatically inform your all previous user to update is available for this app.play store also display upgrade pin your console for as reminder when you update your app.
I uploaded an android app in google play successfully as a free application, after that I lost my licence key. Now I have an updated apk but I'm not able to upload it on google play because I lack the key. So at least I want to notify users from the publishers page that a new version is available.
Afaik, There is no way to notify to the users until if you have anything related to send the push notification to your last app which is in the Google Play.
