How to test when purchasing an app. Google games
I want to test when purchasing an app in my app and I have a few questions about this.
-
How long should I wait (several hours, several days) until I get a Google Play link in my app for my testers? (I mean this link in Google Play Developers Console -> All Apps -> APK -> Bta Testing -> Manage Testers List)
-
If I change the APK to "Upload a new APK to Beta" will this pending link process start again or can I use the same link for the test?
-
Do I need to publish my app first before I get this link? I mean my app is in beta, so it will only be available to my testers, but I need to publish it in the Game Services tab.
-
I downloaded my app yesterday to my phone via a USB cable. When I try to check "When purchasing an application" I got the information: 'Conection Responce: 0 Setup succesful (answer: 0: OK). 'Then the normal Google Play window opened, but I got this information: "Authentication required. You need to sign in to your Google account. But I used a google account on my phone. Do you think I did something wrong with my application code, or because I tried to test it in an application that I downloaded with a USB cable, installed it from the Google Play site instead?
Ps. I am using Samsung Galaxy S6
Thank.

There are two places where you need to publish something for an app that uses Google Play Game Services to make it available to beta testers.
-
In the All Apps section (Android icon in the left frame), select your app, then go to the APK subsection to publish it for beta testing.
-
Under Game Services (the game controller icon in the left frame), select your app, then select Publish to make Google Play Games Services users available to users of your app.
Both of these steps will require you to complete additional information in the other sections as prerequisites for posting.
Once published in any of these sections, it will take several hours to publish. When you publish your app for the first time, you will only receive a link to your published app after publishing is complete. The link is available from the "APK" subsection I linked to above. The link will remain the same when you republish the app. Your testers will receive the most recent published version of your app available when they follow this link. Re-publishing can take several hours, so your testers will see the old version until it's over.
The user of the app must log into Google Play Games Services as an additional step, even if they have already signed up to their Google account by phone.
Hope it helps.
