Google has steadily been introducing Android apps and Play store to ChromeOS, with the announcement today that all Chromebooks will run Android apps. Is there any way Android developers can access data about usage on these devices, via the Play console?

I want to implement the "sign in with Google" button in my Android app. And I read this:
Before you can start integrating Google Sign-In in your own app, you
must configure a Google Developers Console project and set up your
Android Studio project. The steps on this page do just that. The next
steps then describe how to integrate Google Sign-In into your app.
And in order to publish the app I need also a Google Play Console, and I was wondering why do I need to create a Project in Google Developers Console?
Can I make this also in Google Play console??
What is the difference between Google Developers console and Google Play console?
Thanks
Cheers
Google Developers console you can think of as a Google "Cloud" console. Almost anything to do with interacting with Google servers from your app is done there. Most of the APIs and features are cross-platform iOS, Android and Web. You can find it at https://console.developers.google.com/.
Signing in with Google is a cloud feature, and cross-platform so lives there. You can have a Google account on any platform.
Google Play console is focused on publishing your app to Android users. If you want stats for running your business, to affect the store listing, or roll out a new APK that's where to go.
I have removed my Google Developer Console project.
Are these projects identical to each other? If I remove one, will it remove the other?
Difference between Google Developers Console and a Google Play Developers Console?
Google Developers Console: Google Developers (previously Google Code) is Google's site for software development tools, application programming interfaces (APIs), and technical resources. The site contains documentation on using Google developer tools and APIs—including discussion groups and blogs for developers using Google's developer products.
Google Play Developers Console:
Google Play or Google Play Store, and originally the Android Market, is a digital distribution platform operated by Google. It serves as the official app store for the Android operating system, allowing users to browse and download applications developed with the Android SDK and published through Google. Google Play also serves as a digital media store, offering music, magazines, books, movies, and television programs.
Answer of your Question
No, If you remove your project from Developers Console it will not delete your Application from Google Play Store, but the funcationality witch is working due to your Google Developers Console project stops and your Application will not work as it was previously.
Note: Your Project will be permanently deleted from Google Developers Console after 7 days when you deleted it. You can restore your project in the mean time.
The Google Developer Console is a place where you can register your applications for using any of the Google APIs (example: Google plus) or using the Google infrastructures.
The Google Play Developer Console is where you upload your Android App, publish, view statistics, etc.
Removing your project from one will not remove it from the other.
Can Maldivians develop and distribute Android applications in Google Play Store? it is not listed in the supported locations for distribution to Google Play users. So can you still develop and distribute using Google Play while in Maldives?
Maldives supports Google Play Developer Registration (= you can develop and distribute apps) and does not support registration as a Google Wallet merchant (you can't sell apps or in-app products).

I have created a virtual device API 17 using Google API but after starting the devices I can only see google location apps like Google Maps, Local, Navigation and there is Google Settings too but I can't find Google Play Store even though Google Play Services is listed among the installed applications.
I recently replaced AdMob library with Google Mobile Ads and I have a question about that: Will ads appear on Amazon Kindle Fire devices?
I ask this because I know that Google Mobile Ads depends on Google Play Services, so I'm a little confused.
Google Play Services still supports devices that don't have the Google Play store
installed on it. The only difference is that devices without the Play
Store (and the accompanied Google Play Services app) on it will not receive automatic
updates, so you'll still want to grab new versions of the library
provided in Android SDK manager and include them when releasing your
app.
As you can see above, if Google Play Services is not installed on the device, it will fall back to the version you included with your app as a library.
