Gmail contextual gadget deployment - google-apps-marketplace

Seems that UI was changed once again and I cannot deploy "Hello world" Gmail Contextual Gadget following the steps provided by Joc (Gmail contextual gadget):
There are no "Allow individual install" on the step #7
I also cannot find "Test installation flow" (step #10)
The gadget is not listed in the Marketplace list (step #11)
Could you please assist me?

In google apps marketplace sdk API, in tab configure, after Application info section, there is a checkbox Enable individual install
After you save changes at the bottom of this page there is a button Test installation flow at the top of the page. I admit, sometimes it doesn't appear to me.
the Marketplace list I can't reach at the current time. I don't know how to be an administrator or how to make a free trial domain (although it's written in apps.google.com)

Challenges getting first Outlook Web Add-in to run

I am trying to get my first Outlook Web add-in to work. So I:
Followed the instructions at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dev/add-ins/tutorials/outlook-tutorial "Tutorial: Build a message compose Outlook add-in"
Per those instructions, I used the Yeoman generator to create an Office Add-in Task Pane project for Outlook. I followed the instructions to the "Test the generated add-in". So only the manifest had been changed. A very simple add-in at this point.
Tried npm start from the command line.
>npm start
> office-addin-taskpane-js#0.0.1 start C:\Users\Lindsay\OutlookTestAddin2\OutlookTestAddin2
> office-addin-debugging start manifest.xml
Debugging is being started...
App type: desktop
Enabled debugging for add-in a35130ed-92ee-4a47-a5e2-4588da510b2e.
Starting the dev server... (webpack serve --mode development)
The dev server is running on port 3000. Process id: 14044
Sideloading the Office Add-in...
Debugging started.
At this point, I can view the welcome page in a browser at the URL https://localhost:3000/taskpane.html.
Outlook is started with as a result of npm start. There is no "Show Taskpane" button to be found anywhere in Outlook.
Navigated to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dev/add-ins/outlook/sideload-outlook-add-ins-for-testing to follow instructions for "Sideload manually". This PC has Outlook 2016, so went to that section.
It says to select the "Get Add-ins" button, but this button is greyed out.
Checked File > Options > Trust Center > Trust Center Settings > Privacy Options > Privacy Settings and looked for “Enable optional connected experiences” as noted in http://makerblock.com/2021/05/how-to-fix-outlook-get-add-ins-grayed-out-button/ and several other pages. “Enable optional connected experiences” does not exist in my Outlook installation. "Turn on all connected experiences" does exist and is enabled.
Looked at other alternatives for sideloading problems. Found Unable to sideload outlook add-in says "It turns that under settings you may need to turn on which "actions" are available in your read/compose pane." I am not finding exactly to which "settings" this refers.
Tried the same on a different PC with Office 365. The results were essentially the same: No "Show Taskpane" button and the "Get Add-ins" button is greyed out. In this case, “Enable optional connected experiences” exists and is checked.
Seems more difficult than it should be. What am I missing here?
Thanks in advance...
After a lot of looking, I ran across the answer to my own question: on https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dev/add-ins/outlook/add-in-requirements , I have found a statement that says: "The client must be connected to an Exchange server or Microsoft 365 using a direct connection. When configuring the client, the user must choose an Exchange, Office, or Outlook.com account type. If the client is configured to connect with POP3 or IMAP, add-ins will not load." I had only POP3/IMAP accounts, and when I added an Outlook.com account, it magically began working.

How to Create a Project in Google Developers Console

I am trying to create a project in Google Developers Console.
Note: I am the Domain Administrator.
I keep getting this error message;
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.
See my steps to produce the error (screen shots):

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bytqhoir_Tt5SVZZWTRfQVBTRUk/view?usp=sharing
Can anyone share some light on how to solve this issue? Please note that I am the domain administrator.
You need to enable the Cloud Console for your domain or at least the organizational unit that your user is in.
Go to your domain's Control Panel : https://admin.google.com
Click on the "More Google Apps" button. It might be in the "More Controls" section at the bottom of the screen.
In the next screen, click on the "Filters" button and uncheck "Show top featured services"
Once done, the list of service will get quite big. Look for "Google Developers Console", click on it.
Enable the service
It seems to have changed slightly. I had to go to Apps
Then click the Additional Google Services
Then you can find Google Developers Console in there
And then you can Enable the service by selecting ON for everyone

Apps Marketplace SDK: Test Install Flow button missing

Am creating a new project to migrate an oauth1 app to oauth2. Have enabled (and configured) the Apps Marketplace SDK. I am not seeing a "Test Install Flow" button in the settings screen.
I have not found any clues, after much searching, regarding prerequisites for making the button appear in the interface. Can anyone provide pointers about what to check for / what prerequisites I may have missed?
Update: I added an additional scope (beside userinfo.profile and userinfo.email) and the button appeared several minutes after saving the change. So problem solved, I suppose. Hope this helps the next person down the line :)
Update: I made a change to Universal Navigation Extension URL - and Test Install Flow button has again turned off. Reverted to the previous URL, and still no button. Is there some sort of an undocumented propagation period?
Possible that the solution here works for you - "Integrate with Google" button disappeared
In the marketplace SDK settings, uncheck the "Enable individual installs" option. The option doesn't do anything at the moment and shouldn't be enabled.

Why does Test Install Flow ignore Setup URL and instead uses Universal Navigation Link

We're trying to set up a new marketplace app. As suggested by the Google Apps setup UI, we have provided a Setup URL for setting up an account with the service.
However, if I click on the Test Install Flow button, it redirects to the Universal Navigation link instead of the dedicated application Setup url.
What's going on?
The setup URL is never invoked by Google. I don't know why, and I don't know why they provide a field for it.
An answer I got from a Google guy is that if you need an interactive setup you should just implement it in your Universal Navigation link (on the first time the admin opens it or something). The full answer is here: Google Apps Marketplace app installation callback

Google Apps Marketplace SDK : setup a contextual gadget

Ok, so without much notification given, adding market place listings to your vendor profile is no longer possible. The 'create new listing' button is greyed out.
I need to make changes to an existing marketplace listing but that gives errors. We are forced into the new SDK.
So I went ahead and enabled the apps market SDK, filled out all details including images of all sizes, add a COB extension for the contextual gadget and saved the whole thing.
A minute later I return to make a modification and dang... error: "We are looking into this.".
#Google: HELP !
UPDATE : I can reliably reproduce the error as explained here.
Enable Google Apps Marketplace SDK in your project
click on the gear icon, you will be directed to the old API Console
Fill out all details
Add a COB extension (Contextual gadget)
Save everything
Close the API console
Go back to your cloud console -> Google Apps Marketplace SDK
Click on the gear icon again
ERROR
Tested with several google accounts on different computeres and multiple projects on the cloud console.
#jonathanberi could we have a status on this issue, please? We are experiencing the exact same issue and we are unable to publish our app (which is ready) because of this bug. We have tried both creating a new Google Apps console project from scratch as well as modifying a draft of a yet to be published page with the same result. Is any information that we could provide to help?
You must fill out parameter name and a paramter value or your cloud console will return errors and you will not be able to recover from this.
Ouch, that were 3 useless weeks....
