Is there a way to add AdMob to a Trusted Web Activity? - google-play

I am currently using GoogleChromeLabs/svgomg-twa as a base for my project.
Is there a way to add AdMob interstitials or banner ads within the project?

It is possible to add AdMob to an App that uses Trusted Web Activity, but the ads can only be displayed in native activities - they can't be added to the Trusted Web Activity itself.
Web based ads libraries (eg: Google Adsense) will work as expected inside a Trusted Web Activty.

Test GMail marketplace app flow

So here I am again, exploring new Google platform and hunting down information and docs.
I'm trying to build a skeleton of a flow before I write any business logic code with actual use of the APIs, and as expected from Google, this process is excruciatingly painful.
I've tried to follow this doc:
https://developers.google.com/gsuite/marketplace/listing
Packaged the zip, put the flag DOMAIN_INSTALLABLE flag as was instructed in order for the app to be installible from the marketplace. In the dashboard of PRICING & DISTRIBUTION I've selected Private and added testers to the list of testers.
Now when I click View in Chrome Web Store (seen in image) it takes me to the extensions web store, and not to the marketplace store.
How can I get to the GSuite Marketplace flow, rather than the extension flow? Do I need to alter my manifest.json in some way that is not mentioned in the docs?
Thanks
it's true that the publishing flow is too complicated now. We are working on improvements and in the future everything will be in one place.
Unfortunately G Suite Marketplace does not support trusted testers (yet), that's why it doesn't show up.
What you might be able to do, is modify the url a bit after you clicked on 'View in Chrome Web Store'.
Just remove everything after the webstore id
I use this url:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/xxxxxx
xxxx should be your webstore id
You should be able to show your unlisted app in the Gsuite Marketplace, where you can initiate the install flow.
It works for me, but my test app

No SSO integration as your application does not populate the Universal Navigation Link

I am integrating Google Apps Marketplace SDK for my application.
In the Extensions section i have selected "Universal navigation extension" and entered link like "http://spring-bok.com".
After published my application in GAM i am getting a reply mail from esupport#google.com saying that "No SSO integration as your application does not populate the Universal Navigation Link."
How do i activate UNL,Please help me out.
Set up a Google API project for your app before it can make any API calls, so this usually the first step in developing a MArketPlace app.
Select the services to use, go to Google Developers Console and enable the Google Apps MarketPlace SDK , and enable the APIs or SDKs for any other services that your app requires.The app can only access Google services if you enable them.
Check out the Official Google Documentation on how to set up our project: https://developers.google.com/apps-marketplace/preparing

Does app store or Play Store allow apps that have a WebView only to my site?

I want to publish an app witch contains a WebView to my site only
and thats the whole app. Like Mobile Web app but comes from the stores.
Does app store or Play Store allow apps that have a WebView only to my site?
Yes, you can published an app which contains just a WebView of your own website. Please note that according to Google Play Developer Program Policies, it's not allowed to publish apps that provide a WebView of a website you don't own or administer:
Do not post an app where the primary functionality is to:
Provide a webview of a website not owned or administered by you (unless you have permission from the website owner/administrator to do so)
Reference: http://play.google.com/about/developer-content-policy.html
According to Apple's App Store Review Guidelines,
apps which are just web views are not allowed:
4.2 Minimum Functionality
Your app should include features, content, and UI that elevate it beyond a repackaged website. If your app is not particularly useful, unique, or “app-like,” it doesn’t belong on the App Store.
Reference: https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/#functionality
Yes You can but when you implement webview in your application few things must keep in mind
Webviews and Affiliate Spam
We don’t allow apps whose primary purpose is to drive affiliate traffic to a website or provide a webview of a website without permission from the website owner or administrator.
Here are some examples of common violations:
An app whose primary purpose is to drive referral traffic to a website to receive credit for user sign-ups or purchases on that website.
Apps whose primary purpose is to provide a webview of a website without permission:

Cannot submit app to google app marketplace

I am integrating google app marketplace SDK to my web app and publishing it to chrome web store as specified here
I have published the app to restricted users (domain users only) to test the workflow.
The app is published to the domain users but when I access it and click to install, it adds as a chrome extension but I cannot access it as a Google Marketplace app.
For marketplace integration, I have created a project under Google APIs Console and enabled Google Apps Marketplace SDK. If I click the "Test Install Flow" button
the app is successfully installed as a marketplace app which I can access from universal app navigator of my domain email.
Question
Is this the best way I can test whether the app installs as a marketplace application for restricted users? Can I not see it added by directly installing it from the published url?
I have gone through a few links which mention that it is now not easy to submit app to marketplace unless you use atleast one of the Google Services APIs and get through the Google Apps Marketplace Listing Review Request.
Can not post Google Apps Marketplace Listing Review Request for API Project
How to create listing on google apps marketplace?
If I do not intend to use any of the Google Services APIs, and just use Google App MarketPlace SDK, will I not be able to get the app listed in marketplace?
Any help is much appreciated!
Assuming you have added both "DOMAIN_INSTALLABLE" and "GOOGLE_DRIVE" in your mainfest.json file. Try adding "app" section to the manifest. See https://developers.google.com/chrome/apps/docs/developers_guide
