I have published app on play store, I don't know why the app is showing Pre-Registration, I want to give direct download option to my users. Helping hands will be highly appreciated.
The instructions for pre-registration are here. But I'm not sure how this would have happened to you by accident.
To remove it and publish, see the section "Launch your app or 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.
Important: To make your app available on Google Play in the countries you select, make sure to publish your app or game on the Production track. You can publish on the Production track by selecting your app, and then selecting Release Management > App Releases.
After it’s published to the Production track, your app or game will become available in any country set to “Available” on its Pricing & Distribution page.

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Then under App Availability click Unpublished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.
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.
I have an app published on Apple's app store via iTunes Connect. I also have the same app published on Google's Play store.
Both platforms are on their 3rd version and I need to measure the number of installs of each version. Google have made this easy - in the developer console click 'Statistics' then 'App Version':
However, I'm struggling to find a similar report in iTunes Connect.
Is there a way to achieve this with iOS apps?
You can get similar (but not the same nice overview!) information for apps using iOS8+ via Apple's own App Analytics without integrating any 3rd party SDK.
Go to https://analytics.itunes.apple.com/ > Your App > Metrics
Then choose from the "Usage" metrics on the left either "Installations" or "Sessions" (1) and plot them by "App Versions" (2). Please note that usage metrics only included "opt-in" data. (I'd also adjust the time interval if needed)
You can get your opt-in rate by clicking on the little "?" in the top right next to "About App Analytics" in almost every view.
I'm trying to publish an app that is based on a free app that supports in-app billing and which is already published. Rather than use in-app billing in the new app, I decided to remove it and make it a paid app (the difference between the two apps is that the paid app has some enhancements that I want to get paid for).
So I created a new product in Google Play, different package name, etc. Everything went fine until I selected Pricing & Distribution, set the pricing ($0.99) and the distribution. When I tried to publish, I get the Android mascot with the text "Loading" alongside it and it stays like this. The app never appears in searches, even when it's enclosed in quotes. The original app does come up, but not the new one (the difference between the names is that the new one has the word "Pro" after it). And yes, the package names are different.
One more thing: when I uploaded the APK to the store, I got a warning about the app using in-app billing (which it does not) but there is no billing permission in the manifest. Since it was a warning and I don't do in-app billing, I ignored it and continued with the upload. I don't think this has anything to do with the "Loading" problem because it was happening before I removed in-app billing.
Any idea what's wrong?
Eventually, the problem somehow resolved itself. The app is visible in searches, although the "Loading" message in Pricing and Distribution is still stuck. Very weird.
I am building an app for a client and want to give them access to see store listing settings. However, the problem is even I can do app specific rights to a user, he can still see other apps. Even though he cant edit other apps but I don't want him to see the list. I want him to see only his app.
There is currently no way to limit the invited user's right to view your other listings in the Google Play Developer Console. The only rights you can customize are the following:
Create & edit draft apps
Edit store listing, pricing & distribution
Manage Production APKs
Manage Alpha & Beta APKs
Manage Alpha & Beta users
View financial reports
Reply to reviews
Edit games
Publish games
