Google Assistant implementation without Google play console - android

I'm implementing an Enterprise product and they are providing their app through their Website, not from Google Play Console.
I just wanted to integrate Google Assistant into that application. But docs says, we should publish the app into Play console. then only Voice input from Google Assistant will work like that. So I need to do that without publishing the app into Google Play Console. Kindly help me with this.

You can't do that without publishing your app on the play store. During development also, you have to deploy your app on an internal test track in the play console.
Your app actions will be reviewed and then only they are available to your users.
From the docs
Your App Actions won't be available to your users until they've been reviewed and approved.

Google Play Game Services. Why Google Cloud for Auth?

I don't find a Google Play Game Services official support where I can send an email so I ask here hoping someone will know the answer.
If I enable Google Play Game Services is required to enable also Google Cloud that is a payment service with some months trial. Is it correct? Will I need to pay after the trial period? I need the Auth service
An app with Google Play Game Services is classified always as Game in the Google Play Store?
Thanks!
here is the link[1], where you can contact, google play support, they do a community support.

Update Android app using Google Play Custom App Publishing API

I'm a developer working on a private app for my customer. The app has already been uploaded to the Google Play Store as a private app using the Google Play Console (Managed Google Play was used).
I found that it is possible to publish private apps through the Google Play Custom App Publishing API (https://developers.google.com/android/work/play/custom-app-api/publish) which significantly reduces the publishing time.
Is it possible to use the Google Play Custom App Publishing API to update the app if the app was publish with the Google Play Console?
If yes, is there any good example how to do this?
The answer is no, it's not possible.
If the app was published using the Google Play Console (even if it was Managed Google Play) the Google Play Custom App Publishing API can't be used.
I had to unpublish my app in the Google Play Console and upload it using the Google Play Custom App Publishing API with a different app ID.

Does using google FCM for business App requires registration fee?

I want to use FCM(Firebase Cloud Messaging) in my organization's internal App which is not going to be hosted on google play. Does it require any kind of payment? I searched about it, all the searches pointed to google play developer console which charges $25 as one time registration fees. I assume registering on google play developer console is required when we want to host an App on google play. Correct me if I am wrong.
Currently I am able to use FCM in the App just by signing in using my gmail account. I want to know whether payment is necessary for using google FCM service in the App.
As already mentioned in the comments by #jankigadhiya, FCM service is free of charge, though there are premium packages, as seen in the Firebase Pricings page.
The $25 registration fee for the Google Play Dev Console is only necessary IF you are planning to publish your app via the Google Play Store, as described:
Google Play Developer Console enables developers to easily publish and distribute their applications directly to users of Android-compatible phones.
Most of the perks/advantage when registering are for apps who's target is the public market. Since you're app is for internal use only, the advantage I think you can make use of should you choose to register for a Google Play Dev Console is Viewing the App Performance Statistics.
This How to use the Google Play Dev Console help doc should prove helpful.

App index for apps not in Google Play

Do you have to put your android app in Google Play for App indexing? Or any downloadable android apps can be indexed once have deep links enabled?
Cheers,
Allen
To use Google App Indexing, your app must be present in Google Play store.
To enable app indexing, you must declare an association between your website and your app, and for that you must be a verified owner of the app in Google Play and use the same Google account when managing the app in Search Console.
You can see more information on Google App Indexing in their online documentation - https://developers.google.com/app-indexing/android/app

Can I use Google Play Services on apps installed outside the Google Play Store?

If I wanted to publish my app to the Amazon App Store for example, would Google Play Services work on that version of the app? Or does Google require apps to be downloaded from the Google Play Store exclusively to be able to connect to Google Play Services?
I guess that if the Play Services App and it's dependencies exist on device it will work. Many ways for this.
On the contrary, what you are going to do with the play-service? Are you allowed to publish such an app to the Amazon? I guess that the most appropriate answer is going to be given by and the terms of their market.
According to the following guide you should change some things before uploading the Supported Services and Features mentions that you should change:
Google Maps -> Use the Amazon Maps API.
Google Cloud Messaging -> Use Amazon Device Messaging.
Google Play In-App Billing -> Use the Amazon In-App Purchasing API.
Google Game Play Services -> Use Amazon GameCircle.
You can use Google Play Services on the device where it is.
Usually, where has Google Play Services installed Google Play.
