I'm making an application to read and respond to the reviews of google play account for my applications. When I enter my google play account, settings > api access, the following message appears to me: "Only the account owner can configure API access. Please contact him to update the API settings."
Is it possible that the owner of the account that has published the application gives me permissions to generate the token only to read the reviews? Or only the owner can generate a global token to read the reviews?.
Regards!
As you've said, API can only be configured by the owner of Google Play Developer account. As an account owner, you can add users to your Play Console account and manage permissions across all apps or for specific apps. From this page:
Sign in to your Play Console.
Click Settings Settings > User accounts & rights.
To add a new user, select Invite new user and follow the on-screen instructions.
To update permissions for an existing user, hover over their email address and select the pencil icon Pencil icon.
Use the "Role" drop-down to choose a pre-defined role or use the checkboxes for individual permissions.
Choose whether each permission applies to all apps in your developer account ("Global") or specific apps.
To add an app to the permissions table, use the "Add an app" drop-down Drop-down arrow.
To see details for each permission, review the permission definitions
table.
Click Send Invitation.
You can only generate a token once you're added as an owner.

Google play console is requesting to verify my identity.
The problem is that the verification form is asking for an organization info and docs while the account is for individual and that is provided in the account details screen.
So what am I missing? Where to go? Or how to contact google support?
I had this after emailing googleplay-developer-support#google.com. Solution: Your payment profile shouldn't be set as organization if your developer profile is set to individual and vice-versa.
Per checking, the payments profile associated with your account is set as an organization. You may choose to verify your account as an organization with the following documents that our system accepts: Certificate of Organization, and a valid ID of the organization's Official Representative.
If you would like to verify as an individual and change the entity type on your payments profile, you would have to create a new account in order to change from organization to individual. You may view your payments profile via pay.google.com
To change the entity type on your Payment Profile, it would need to be deleted and created again. Since a Play Console account can only be associated with one Payment Profile, it will need to be deleted and recreated as well.
To resolve the issue, we can close your Play Console account and refund the registration fee. Then, you can delete your payment profile at pay.google.com before you sign-up for a new Play Developer account. To proceed, please provide confirmation by responding with “I confirm to have my Play Console Developer account closed and have its registration fee refunded.” Also, please remove the existing draft app from the Developer account
I had this issue recently and it turned out it was because I had an old Payment Profile with Account Type of 'Organisation'.
You need to go here: https://pay.google.com/gp/w/u/0/home/settings
Personally, I had two payment profiles; one was for an Individual and one was for an Organisation. Maybe the Organisation one was the default or whatever.
In the end I managed to close that payment profile and create a new developer account after having the first one refunded.
There were a few emails to Google Support going back and forth but that solved it in the end and now I have an app on the Play Store.
I am developing an app that will stand on its own without a Website (at the moment).
According to Google Play, I must provide a Privacy Policy URL because my app requires the android.permission.CAMERA permission.
I know that I can place a Privacy Policy on a static hosted Website and give that URL to Google Play, but I would like to know what Google Play will use that URL for.
Does it just give the users the link and if clicked will take the user to the static page where the privacy policy is hosted?
Does it crawl the page and extracts information from it to display the info within the Play Store?
Thanks
There are 2 types of permissions : Normal and Dangerous as listed here
The purpose of a permission is to protect the privacy of an Android
user.
Android apps must request permission to access sensitive user data (such as contacts and SMS), as well as certain system features (such as camera and internet). Depending on the feature, the system might grant the permission automatically or might prompt the user to approve the request.
read more here : https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/permissions/overview
So if you using some of Dangerous level permissions in your app , google will definitely ask you to provide Privacy Policy before uploding apk to playstore .
so if you not provide link , they will not approve your apk build to publish in playstore.
Yes , they also display Privacy Policy Link to all users in ADDITIONAL INFORMATION section in Playstore .
For Example See Below Picture :
I am just getting started with the google classroom api. I signed up for the developer test accounts and have 1 teacher account and 2 student accounts. I created a couple of classes and enrolled the 2 students in the classes. I want to use the api either via .NEt or Javascript. The prerequisuites state that I need a Google Apps for EDU account with Google Classroom enabled. How do I get this? Also, I assume without having the Google Apps for EDU account I cannot perform the first step:
"a) Use this wizard to create or select a project in the Google Developers Console and automatically turn on the API. Click Continue, then Go to credentials."
When I perform this step when logged in under the teacher account I get an error:
Error
"Developers Console has not been activated for your account. Your account may be suspended or disabled. If you are a Google Apps user, ask your domain administrator to enable Apphosting Admin on your account."
To obtain a Google Apps for Education account, you have to register your domain (or buy one), and fill up this form.
When filling the form, you will get information about the requirements needed to get the account.
To create a project in the Developer Console, you can do it even from your gmail account. After you created the project, you can enable the Classroom API so you application can access it.
When you run the code, you will have to login with a valid account (teacher or student). If you try to access the API with an invalid account you will get an error.
You can also use the Classroom API methods in the documentation. For example the resource curses.list has a "try it" section, where you can try the API before creating any project. There you can see how it works.
Our windows store application is especially for our customers.
It requires user credential to login.
It doesn't have any sign up page.
New users cannot access our application(They should be our customer.)
For new users, Admin will create an account and share them to the
user.
At the first time, user is requested to change password.
This is how our customer access our application
We submitted our free business app to the windows store.
But it is rejected with the reason saying "Apps that require users to sign in must either specify upfront in app description the type of access user must have and how to get it or provide a mechanism for new users to sign up for services from within the app. At a minimum this could be a link in the app to the website where the user can create a new account and sign up for services. Your app did not appear to provide this information to the user."
We do not have such a page. How can we proceed for resubmission?
Whether we need to provide description like "Our application can be accessible to our customers only"
or
provide support email address and saying like "Contact our support team/admin to create new account"
or
any suggestions?
Simply show a description which tells user that this app is only for registered customers. For more details you can write us to your email id or can fully describe the log in process there on the first page.
The description says it all. Include exactly what you have said in the application's description update. In addition include this information on the main page of your application for extra safety.
Note how DropBox has done it. When you install the app your very first screen has the login boxes and a link to "or Create an Account" which then brings you to a webpage to create the account.
You could link this to a page on your site that allows a user to contact your org for an account or register for one to then be approved, etc
After clicking Add it now button we need to display the domain users. How to display the user list in Java

This is what you are looking for :
https://developers.google.com/google-apps/profiles/
The Profiles Data API allows client applications to retrieve and
update profile information for users in a Google Apps domain. Each
user profile is stored in the owning user's Google Account, but it can
be modified only by an administrator of the user's domain.
