Chrome Web Store Review Without Google Plus - chrome-web-store

I submitted an extension to Chrome Web Store but as a developer, if I reply to a support review my Google Plus account is published.
Is it possible to hide Google Plus account? If not, do you recommend to create another account without breaking Chrome TOS?

You can use another account for that. Google's Publishing tutorial says:
decide which Google Account you want to be your developer account.
This account will own your app (or multiple apps, if you choose) and
will receive any payments you get from Chrome Web Store Payments.
Instead of your personal account, you might want to choose a dedicated
account.

My Google adsense account is verified, then also i'll need to verify my ID after buying play console developer account?

I have a Google Adsense account, I'm using it to show ads on my websites, also I'm using Admob to show ads on my applications. Everything is working fine as I have successfully verified my ID and Address with PIN and receiving money. And now I want to publish my applications on Google Play Store so I visited website to buy console account, it's written that google may ask to verify my identity and if failed money won't be refunded. My question is that after buying it, will google ask me to verify my identity with my photograph and government ID ?
They usually do not try to verify you, but usually it happened when you want to get payment for IAP (in app purchases) inside your apps.
Then they will ask for government ID (I recommend using passport), and will ask you to add a bank account to receive your money, it will take couple of days then they will verify you.
Do not worry it is normal process, the nonrefundable part is the 24$ you pay to open Google Play Developer account.
They may ask you to verify your phone number (it depends on your country, this is not done in all countries)

Is there a way to detect when a user has paid for a Google App Marketplace app you published?

We're currently in the process of publishing a Laravel web app to Google App Marketplace and I have read every section of the guides found here https://developers.google.com/gsuite/marketplace/overview but there doesn't seem to be any mention of detecting when a user has successfully paid for your app. Because ultimately what we want to achieve is to prevent just anybody from accessing the registration/initial setup page and only grant access to G Suite domains that have paid for the app.
The G Suite Marketplace does not support payments. If you have implemented your own payment solution then it's up to you to restrict access to paying users.

How can I build a webapp which uses google calendar api without having to become verified?

What I want to build:
I want to build a website where users can connect their google calendars (this will use Google Calendar API's)
and view their calendar events, as well as edit them, and create new ones.
My problem:
In order to do so, google says my app needs to be verified, which can take weeks, and I also need to set up terms of services pages, privacy policy pages
I also need to supply authorised javascript origins which MUST start with https, which of course is a problem during development, since my origin is http://localhost
I also need to set up support emails and homepage link
Question
I just want to start building my application without having to set up a whole production-ready website eco system.
Is there anyway I can use these Google Calendar APIs for editing/creating calendar events locally, without having to set up everything mentioned above first?
Unverified apps can still be used by the developer who created the project on google developer console.
Unverified app screen
The app or script might display an "unverified app" screen before it displays the consent screen. This is based on the specific scopes that your app includes in the request.
You can still work on your app while you are going though the verification process. However that being said i would start that process asap it can take a long time to get verified.
Yes, you can. As far as I am able to tell, all the verification step does is remove the "unverified app" screen. As long as you click Advanced > Go To ... (unsafe), you should be able to create and edit calendar events for that user in your application.
In order to be able to create and edit calendar events, you need to use the most sensitive scope, which is https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar. I couldn't figure out how to edit and create calendar events in my web app until I changed my scope from calendar.events to calendar.
Creating Events: https://developers.google.com/calendar/create-events

Alternative to Appcenter / HockeyApp for hosting mobile applications

I am looking for an alternative to HockeyApp, so that I can host and deliver Xamarin Application to end customers (UWP, iOS, Android). The reason I cannot use HockeyApp is that the authentication mechanism has changed and requires one of github, microsoft, google, etc credentials to register/login. The end customers with their business emails, should not be using personal logins to access enterprise stuff.
Have checked tools like TestFairy, etc. None of them serve the purpose or are missing UWP app hosting.
Your customers can create Microsoft account with their business email. It's free. Not tied to outlook.com email address. They will benefit from improved security compared to the deprecated HockeyApp authentication.
you can create google account with office email, suppose for your business you use oultlook.com, with the same id you can create account on google only thing is gmail will not be there for you because you already have outlook, but you can use all google service with this account.

How to can i remove that app ads unit id from Admob?
And How to stop this thing because its admob warning that may disable my admob account?
Any suggestion ??
You can't. You need to remove it from the app and republish the app in the other market.
At the Admob console, select the app with the ads.
check the ad you want to disable, then click < Archive >
this will give you the prompt below.
this will disable your Ads with that Ad unit ID (I hope you didn't use the same ID for all 20 of your apps).
