Re: [android-developers] Is it possible to allow Alpha/Beta testers to test my paid app for free?

2014-07-28 Thread Jose_GD
Yes, I confirm it's not possible right now. If paid, testers must pay to 
test (what they were thinking?).

I've done in the past with my first paid app like Bhavin said: use 
*com.your.package.test* for beta testing (free of course) and when you're 
ready to launch, disable this APK and upload the same binary as 
*com.your.package*

Cheers,

José

2014-07-28 Thread Russell Wheeler
With the refund, did you lose out? Did you do a refund through the play
store, or did you personally refund them? I'm thinking if you did it
personally, you'd lose the 30% Google have already taken.

If you did the refund through the store, does that mean that they then lose
the app?

One minor point to add - when you do the refund it tells you that the
customer will receive an email - that appears to be a lie ;-)  Your less
trusting testers will have to rely on their credit card statement or phone
bill to confirm that you did refund it.

Re: [android-developers] Is it possible to allow Alpha/Beta testers to test my paid app for free?

2014-07-28 Thread Russell Wheeler
Thanks Steve, this sounds like a very good way to go about it.

 One minor point to add - when you do the refund it tells you that the 
 customer will receive an email - that appears to be a lie ;-)  Your less 
 trusting testers will have to rely on their credit card statement or phone 
 bill to confirm that you did refund it.

 Refunded through the play store so no 30% issue.  The app remains 
 licensed and gets the updates you push to the play store both during and 
 after the test period.

 With the refund, did you lose out? Did you do a refund through the play 
 store, or did you personally refund them? I'm thinking if you did it 
 personally, you'd lose the 30% Google have already taken.

 If you did the refund through the store, does that mean that they then 
 lose the app?

 What I did was to advise my testers that they would have to pay to 
 install the app but I would refund it the next day.  This worked out fine 
 and one of the testers told me that the refund had appeared on her CC even 
 before the charge did!

 José,

 That's exactly what I planned on doing, although I'd rather not have 
 to.

 Thanks for confirming.

 Yes, I confirm it's not possible right now. If paid, testers must pay 
 to test (what they were thinking?).

 I've done in the past with my first paid app like Bhavin said: use 
 *com.your.package.test* for beta testing (free of course) and when 
 you're ready to launch, disable this APK and upload the same binary as 
 *com.your.package*

 Cheers,

 José

 Yes I think I'm going to have to publish two diff apks with diff 
 package names, unfortunately.

 It's very limited.

 Thanks

 may be no.
 other way is to you put same apk with different package name.

 I am just starting out in the android developer world, and have 
 made a very basic game that I would like to have tested by friends 
 and 
 colleagues. I thought of using the alpha and beta testing/apk 
 sections of 
 the google developer console.

 However, I would like my app to eventually be a paid app, and from 
 reading around it would appear that testers would also have to pay in 
 order 
 to test my app for me. Is there any way around this, or I have I 
 misunderstood? I'm talking about the initial purchase of the app, not 
 in 
 app purchases.

 If not, how do others approach this situation? Give the app away 
 on email, but lose out on the auto updating facilities of the play 
 store, 
 or do you create two apps one for free that is only visible to 
 testers, and 
 then the paid app later on launch?

 If I did that, would I need two diff package names for each of the 
 app?

 Thanks

Is it possible to create a shape with a pattern fill - instead of a solid
