As of late, google play is "reviewing" new apps that were published to google play.
My app requires the reviewer to have a demo account, otherwise the user cannot go past the initial screen.
Where is the place that I provide the reviewer with the demo account?
Actually you could provide extra data for google play by follow the instructions bellow:
Login in your google play developer account.
In the left side menu click on Policy -> App Content
Check the radio button "All or some functionality is restricted"
Click on "Add new instructions".
After enter your data you will be able to edit it by click on link "Manage".
Actually in now days google will reject apps that don't fill the
credentials for testing purposes. See the rejection from google play when you don't inform the demo credentials.
Google play does not open the app at all, they run automated tests on it, that does not seem to include opening the app.
It took 3 days and change but it was approved.

I have a Google Developer account for developing android apps and my account is linked to some projects that I don't want to be linked with anymore. I asked those companies to remove me as a developer from their Google Play account but they don't do it. I just want to be removed from their project because I have nothing to do with it anymore so why should I have access. It is just a weak point.
I know that the account owner of the customers Google Play account can remove my account from the project but there must be a way from my side as well to say -> I don't want to be part of it anymore and unlink from this project?!
Try to contact the project admin
Try to contact google support
If after contacting google support and nothing happens, contact them again.
If you want this to be a new feature google has many ways to submit feature requests/bug reports.
One way is by using the submit feedback button in the new console
Go to the new console (https://play.google.com/console)
There should be a "feedback" button in the top-right corner (button image)
i made an application and uploaded it to production track in play console application is published but as pre registration how to fix this that my users can download ut now.
The help pages for pre-registration are here. It looks like you may have selected pre-registration by accident when targeting countries.
To get out of this the instructions are in the section "Launch your game from pre-registration"
Sign in to your Play Console.
Select an app or game that you made available for pre-registration..
Click Store presence > Pricing & distribution.
In the “Countries” section, click Manage countries.
Next to the countries where you want to launch your app or game, select Available.
Select Submit update.
If you really ended up here by accident, rather than choosing it as described on that page it is a bug. Please report it to Play Console Support on the Play Console help page.
I am not talking about an app for a team, but something like iTunes where a user (say the boss) has a main account and it can choose team member with abilities for publish new apps or updates.
I can not find this option in google play. is it possible?
Yes, you can add multiple Google Accounts. One is the owner and he can give other access. But you have to do this in the Google Developer Console.
Log in into your account. Press Settings. Click the button Invite new user.
Sorry, I use Dutch language, but here is a screenshot:
I´ve succesfully implemented a purchase flow for my app.
My app is published in Alpha stage with two of my google accounts listed as testaccounts. The APK published is the same installed on my phone.
Though, when I try purchasing something I get the "Authentication is required, please log in to you google account".
So what I did was 1. removed all my accounts on my phone and re-logged them. 2.Cleared all the data of the Play store. 3.Uninstalled the latest update(Incase it was the new update playing fuzzy).
Still the same error.
Someone that can help me? Really dont want to release the app without testing the purchasing..
Thanks in advance!
If I remember correctly, I got rid of this message by creating Google Group (https://groups.google.com) and adding my test accounts there. Then go to Google Play Developer Console, Your app -> APK -> Alpha testers and choose "Manage list of testers". There, add just created Google Group, and share a link to your app (appears below) with your test account. Next, open that link from email on your test device, and follow instructions (you will need to login in Chrome on mobile).
For reference:
How to distribute apk to limited users. And they cannot re-distribute to others?
One way to do is get device IMEI number and post to server to check valid user or not. But I am trying to limit in android code itself to avoid server communication.
Also as I will not publish app on google play,I am not able to add Google Play Licence Verification library.
Use Beta-Testing section from Play Store, after uploading your apk on Play Store. You can create a group of user from Google+ and add them in testing section. Follow this :
Create an App
Log into the Developer Console and upload an APK. No need to publish it yet.
Check out the ‘Beta’ tab now, which should show this handy message:
Upload Beta APK
Click the Beta tab and upload the APK again. Publishing from this tab will not push it to the store, but there is a handy button that allows you to promote apps from Alpha to Beta to Prod, which is neat.
Create a Test Group
Using your developer account (it must be the primary google developer account), create a Google+ Community. Public or private, doesn’t matter. (You could use a Google Group too, but Google+ is a pretty good medium for wrangling a beta team, so I’ll recommend it here.)
Add your Community to the list of testers by clicking “Manage list of testers” and pasting the Community’s URL.
Invite Users to Test
Click publish in the Beta tab. Click again on “Manage list of testers” and there you will find a URL to share with your Community. When they go to that URL, they’ll get a signup prompt (later, a play store link). Roll outs will take anywhere from a minute to a couple hours to propagate, as with anything on the store.
Hard code the list of IMEI or device IDs in the app. On launch check the device ID against your white list and either launch or kill the app depending on the result.
You can roll out a version to a limited amount of users through the play store.
Just have to create a google Group or a Google+ group and follow the instructions here:
