How can I download first version of my app from google play console? - google-play

1 year ago I launched my app on google play store and after almost 50 updates it looks very different. I don't have the first version of my app and I want to preserve the first version. Is there a way to download first version of the app?
Can someone please guide me through this process?

yes you can "you just have to login using the super user":
1- Select your APP
2- Go to >> APP bundle explorer (you will find a list of all your app version)
3- Choose the version you want
4- you will be redirected to a details page for that specific app
5- Choose Downloads Tab and from there you will be able to download (original abb file) or copy a shareable link

How to check Microsoft PowerApps Portal version number?

I wanted to verify if my PowerApps Portal app was at least version 9.3.2... I tried looking for the Portal version in the Portal Management and the Power Platform Admin Center without success.
After some searching, I was able to view the PowerApps Portal version by using https://<your_portal>.powerappsportals.com/_services/about. Result should be similar to below:
You can go to https://make.powerapps.com/ which will take you to the homepage. Go to the Apps section(left-hand side), you can see all your apps listed. Go to your corresponding app and click on the 3 dots on the right side and from their go-to Details . It opens up a screen, now click on the Versions tab and there you can see all the versions of the app, the current version, and the live version.

How to hide an app from play store for a couple of hours

Due to a migration in the back I would like to temporary stop my app from being downloaded.
In the past I could manage that in Play Store Console. But now I can't find any switch for that.
How to disable the app temporary in Play Store ?
For anyone still looking for an answer, it is possible nowadays (an easier and better way than the other answer suggests).
First open up Google Play Console
On the left hand side click Setup > Advanced Settings
Then under App Availability click Unpublished
In Playstore developer console You can go to pricing and distribution section in the left hand side panel
You should find Availability section listing lot of countries where your app would be available for download from playstore
You can make all countries as unavailable or few selected countries
for keeping you app hidden from playstore and there by stopping downloads from playstore for sometime , you can always make your app available by selecting available in countries once done available , your app would be back in playstore within few minutes and will be ready for download.

Android App shows status published but not available to install says preregister instead of install

From the documentation it says if a app status is published it should be available to download but for me instead of install option i have pre-register. Ho long should i wait for it to show install.
Thank you.
The help pages for pre-registration are here. It looks like you may have selected pre-registration by accident when targeting countries.
To get out of this the instructions are in the section "Launch your game from pre-registration"
Sign in to your Play Console.
Select an app or game that you made available for pre-registration..
Click Store presence > Pricing & distribution.
In the “Countries” section, click Manage countries.
Next to the countries where you want to launch your app or game, select Available.
Select Submit update.
If you really ended up here by accident, rather than choosing it as described on that page it is a bug. Please report it to Play Console Support on the Play Console help page.

How not to Get discovered on Google Play search

I want to put my app on google play store but not open to search. I just want to use play store link to give anyone I want. I don't want my app to be listed on any search on play store.
I think you can use the Alpha/Beta program: googleplay support
In general it works as following:
Create an App
Log into the Developer Console and upload an APK. No need to publish it yet.
Check out the ‘Beta’ tab now, which should show this handy message:
Using your developer account (it must be the primary google developer account), create a Google+ Community.
Add your Community to the list of testers by clicking “Manage list of testers” and pasting the Community’s url.
Click again on “Manage list of testers” and there you will find a URL to share with your Community.

Install other applications in a WP7 application Programatically

What the WP7 application needs to do?
- download some others applications and install them automatically on the device.
The device will send first a request to a web server with some rules and will receive an answer containing the links to the applications that need
to be downloaded and installed on the device.
As far as I read, the Marketplace is the only way to get apps on a Windows Phone 7 device, so let's suppose that the applications I want to
install are already on the Marketplace and I can refer to each one by their links (according to this post).
Can I download programmatically an application from the MarketPlace (having the link to it) in another application and install it
on the device?
I do not want to open the app link in browser because this opens the Marketplace hub and points me to the application location.
Just for my curiosity: every time you want to install an application from Marketplace you need to sign in with a Windows Live ID?
Thanks & Regards,
Paul
You cannot dynamically download or execute code or install applications on WP7. The closest you can get is launching a MarketplaceDetailTask which directs the user to a page on the marketplace where they can choose to download the application.
The user's Live ID remains signed in until they sign out from Settings so, no, they don't have to sign in more than once.
