I'm trying to publish my ionic2 app on Google play.But still, I cannot do that.It doesn't show any errors.Can you tell me how to do this?
When I press the "Ready to Publish" button then it shows below screen.
The accepted answer is now outdated.
On left side menu select 'Publishing overview'.
Click on 'Review and publish'.
Approve publish.
By the way, this is happening because you've turned on 'Managed publishing status'.
I recommend leaving it on, as it lets control when your app will actually be published after Google's review.
Op's feedback:
Press Mange Releases Button -- > Then go to the bottom of the page --> Click Review Button.After that Publish button will be shown.
Original Answer:
It's similar to App store, Your application need to be accepted by tester for review and install on different device.
"Ready to publish" does not mean you can publish it globally unless you define internal or external (Alpha/Beta)tester, and those how choose to install your app need to review your app.

I have successfully deployed my Android production app on Google Play. I want to remove my testers from internal test so can install and use the production app. When I go into Manage internal testers and click on Remove Users its tells me that it has saved. However when I exit from the page, it tells me that it is not saved and if I then exit and return to the page the Remove Testers button is still active. Also previous testers get the following message when they access Google Play and go to the production app download screen:
You're an internal tester. This app may be un-secure or unstable
If any one could help me to remove this message I would really appreciate it. It looks very unprofessional to some high profile clients who were also app testers previously.
Many thanks
The best way to do this is:
Go to Play Console > Testing > Internal Testing.
Under the "Testers" tab scroll to the bottom and you should see this:
Tap on the "Copy link" button. This will copy the Internal testing's binary link. Now send this to your internal testers. Once they open this link make they will get the "Leave the program" option (see picture below).
Once they tap this, they will have opted-out of your internal testing list!
p.s. If the "Leave the program" option doesn't appear on the top right of the screen ensure that the tester has selected the correct account if they have multiple accounts added on their Play store app! (see the picture below, its the square on the right side under the overflow menu).
After completing the accepted answer's instructions, your internal tester may still see the message. To fix this, first confirm that the test version of the app is uninstalled from the phone and that the Google Play Store app has been closed completely. After confirmation, have your internal tester go into their phone's Google Play Store app settings. To get there, open the phone's Settings app, click on Apps, then click on Google Play Store in the list. Your internal tester now needs to clear this app's cache. To do this, click on Storage, then click on Clear cache at the bottom of the page.
Now have your tester open the Google Play Store app and install your app the standard way. They should be able to get the production version of the app!
I had an app released on Google Play Store. I recently decided to change the icon and update the screenshots.
I changed the icon by going through the below steps:
1- Login to Google Developers Console.
2- From the dashboard selected: "Store presence" -> "Store listing".
3- Upload a new icon.
4- Clicked on "Submit Update".
Even though a couple of hours has passed from changing the icon, but I still see the old icon of Google Play Store.
Is there another step that I should be taking?
Short answer: no.
if you didn't receive any error during the upload of the images, or during the submit of the update, the update is pending, and should be visible in a couple of hours, sometimes it can take up to a day.
Side menu, 4th item "publishing overview" seemed to do the job
In the left sidemenu go to publishing overview if you have any unpublished changes, they should be listen under the "Changes ready to publish" section.
If there are changes, click the publish changes button on the right corner of the section. It might take a couple of hours before the changes are visible.
I'm going to publish an App on the Google Play Store.
I know that the validation can take up to 48h more or less.
I would like to know if there is a way to submit the App for validation, and then when it's validated, tu publish it by my self, clicking on a button "PUBLISH" or something.
Apple propound two ways of publishing process:
- Automatic: just right after the validation, the App is automatically published.
- Manual: after the validation process, we get a notification saying that the App is ready to publish. By clicking on a button whenever I want and publish the App.
Is there a "Manual" way on Android ?
Thanks in advance !
You can use 'delayed publication' mode in your Play console - look for dropdown in upper right screen corner.
Hi i am trying to upload my Android app in the private channel of the Google Play store, this will be first app for our organization. We didn't upload any apps yet but we are trying to upload our first app in private Channel. I didn't find how to get start with Google play private channel. I go through this distribute android apps in your organization but am a bit confuse about what the first step is. Can anybody tell me how to get started?
My first step is through this screen. So where is "Click More controls > Other Google Services, click filter to open the filter pane, and deselect the Show top featured services checkbox"..
Maybe it's too late, but I just did it for the first time now, and I can guide you :)
I aggree with you : Google support is a bit confusing.
First of all, from the main dashboard, go to Apps, then Additional Google services. Then, at the top right of the screen, click the second button (a kind of filter icon), between "+" and "?", and uncheck in the left panel that appears "Show top featured services".
Then, on the same screen, scroll and make sure Google Play Developer Console and Google Play for work are activated.
Once done, go back to the main dashboard, and then go to Device Management. On the next screen click Mobile on the left panel.
There, click Device management settings and check Allow users to access Google Play Private Channel if you want your users are just able to download app, or the second checkbox (update Goole Play Private Channel) if you want they can upload custom apps too.
You can set this property for your whole domain, or for each "organizationnal unit", as Google says.
Then, you have to create an Android dev account with one of your Google Apps account. I mean : if you had a personnal dev account (with a gmail address, or anything else, you won't be able to be a dev in your organization), so beware !
The publication process will be the same, except one thing : in the "pricing/availability" menu in the Dev console, you will have to check a tiny checkbox just after the amazing list of countries, to warn Google you want this app to be just visible for users of your GApp domain.
An other pretty cool feature that may be relevant in this usecase is Android For Work, coupled with Google Play For Work. I can help you too about it, but it's another subject :)
Google has provided step by step instructions of doing this. We can create users in the private domain and assign different privileges to the users, based on which, they can just download the app or upload apps to the private channel. The following link gives detailed information on this.

I have a test draft on Google Play developer console. It is empty, no apk files on it and no description, I just created it for check something.
Now the draft is here and I can't find a button for delete it.
How can I delete that draft? I can't find any documentation about it.
Thanks.
1) if you notice this:
2) go into the release page, then click "discard" as below:
3) then you remove the "draft"
I searched around and find no way to delete a draft.
However, you can change it's name to your future application (go to Store Listing - Title) and leave your worries behind ^^
There is an option to delete app in the menu available in the right upper corner
As of August 2017, the only way to delete the app is to click on the trash can icon in the list view. The previous answers reference UI that has been removed.
Now you have to contact the support to delete an app plus this app needs to be marked as unpublished in Google Play Console > Version > Configuration > Advanced Settings > Application availability.
Delete an app or game
You can permanently remove draft apps or games from your Play Console. You can also delete:
Published apps or games that haven't been installed on any devices
Published apps or games that no users are entitled to re-install
In these cases, contact our support team to request that your app's or game's data be permanently deleted.
Quoted from https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/9023647
On the Apps Listing Page there is a Delete Trash Icon. Click on that and confirm Delete.
View Image
Go to All Applications tab, then click the trash button on your app list to delete the draft app.
there is a way.
Say you already have a draft and you want to upload another draft. Upload the 2nd draft and save it. It might complain that you cant have two drafts as users can have multiple APKs installed ..fine.
Now archive the original APK (press the archive button). Now press save. Now you can use this draft and the other gets archived.
