Before you can start making API calls, you need to set up API access to your Google Play Developer Account. This involves changes in both the Google Play Console and Google Cloud Console. The following instructions explain the four steps needed to start using the Google Play Developer API. • Link your developer account to a new or existing Google Cloud Project. • Enable the Google Play Developer API for your linked Google Cloud Project. • Authorize an API key for the Google Play Developer API in your linked Google Cloud Project. • Set up a service account with appropriate Google Play Console permissions to access the Google Play Developer API. Link your account and project Before you can access the Google Play Developer API, you must link your Google Play Developer Account to a Google Cloud Project. In most cases, we recommend that you create a new Google Cloud Project dedicated to your Google Play Developer Account, but you can link an existing project. Keep in mind that each Google Play Developer Account can only be linked to a single Google Cloud Project. If you have multiple apps in the same Google Play Developer Account, they all must share the same Google Cloud Project. Create a new project • Go to the • Click Create new project. The Google Cloud Project is automatically created and linked to your Google Play Developer Account. Use an existing project If you are already a user of the Google Cloud Console, you can link to your existing Google Cloud Project by followin...

Over the last few months, I've published several revisions to my app. Unfortunately, I didn't keep copies of all the old APKs, and now I'd like to test upgrade from the old versions to my new version. Is there any way to download Google's copy of my old versions? The Google Play developer console shows my old APKs, but without a download link. I tried "Real APK Leecher", but that doesn't let you choose the APK version you want to download. And I'm not able to even temporarily reactivate the old version in the Developer Console since it complains that it's of an earlier version. Now it is possible. They added "Manage Releases" tab to Google Play Developer Console. From Artifact Library under the Release Management tab, you can download your app's APK. You need to have the necessary permissions to see the download button next to your artifacts. If in doubt, try the root account. For people who are following this answer: if you have multiple users signed into your Chrome, try opening up an incognito window and going to the developer console that way (after signing in with the master account). I was signed in with an account that apparently didn't have full access, so the download button wasn't available. THE ANSWER IS OUTDATED. NOW THIS IS POSSIBLE, CHECK FOR THE NEW 2020 GOOGLE PLAY CONSOLE, SEE ANSWER FROM No, unfortunately. The Android Developer Console is a real disaster, everywhere you look there is something that needs to be fixed or improved, being this issue you menti...

• New apps and app updates must target API level 33 to be submitted to Google Play (Wear OS must target API 30) • Existing apps must target API level 31 or above to remain available to users on devices running Android OS higher than your app's target API level. Apps that target API level 30 or below (target API level 29 or below for Wear OS), will only be available on devices running Android OS same or lower than your apps’ target API level. You will be able to request an extension to November 1, 2023 if you need more time to update your app. You'll be able to access your app's extension forms in Play Console later this year. Every new Android version introduces changes that enhance the user experience, security, and performance of the Android platform overall. Each app specifies a targetSdkVersion (also known as the target API level) in the manifest file. The target API level indicates how your app is meant to run on different Android versions. Configuring your app to target a recent API level ensures that users benefit from security, privacy, and performance improvements, while still allowing an app to run on older Android versions (down to the specified minSdkVersion). To provide Android and Google Play users with a safe experience, Google Play requires all apps to meet target API level requirements listed below. Exceptions to these requirements include: • • Apps that target automotive form factor and are bundled within the same package will remain discoverable to all...

What is Google Play Developer Console Google Play Developer Console is the platform that Google provides for Google Play and Android developers to publish – and of particular interest to Why the Google Play Developer Console is Important The Google Play console allows app developers and marketers to better understand how their apps are performing in terms of growth, technical performance such as crashes or display issues, and financials. The console offers acquisition reports and detailed analysis which can help app devs / marketers find out how well an app is really performing. The platform is important as it provides developers with access to first party data (trustworthy information collected about an app’s audience that comes straight from Google Play) that highlights the real performance of an app. The console allows the monitoring of conversion rates (CVR); it shows the number of impressions an app listing receives and the number of installs an app receives from different sources over time. The user acquisition reports found in the console show data on how an app is getting its growth such as users’ origins in terms of source. (Google Play shows users’ traffic source, for example whether organic ‘explore traffic’ or paid traffic from ‘third party referrals’). Having access to deep analysis contributes to an understanding of an app’s performance in terms of growth. However, the data is limited. It’s not possible to see attribution (the science of attributing a user to...
