Google Play Upload Stage

1. Google Play upload: Upload the release candidate to Google Play.
2. Distribute for testing: You can distribute the release candidate to Google Play testing tracks.

Once you selected a release candidate in Rollouts, you can continue with uploading your app to Google Play.

Distributing Android release candidates for testing

1. Open your release and go to the Beta testing in Google Play section

   

2. Choose a testing track

   Rollout supports open, internal, and closed testing. For more information about Google Play testing, check out the Google Play Console documentation.

   If there is a newer build (a build with a higher version_code number) on the testing track, you can’t replace that build with your release candidate and the Start button will not be available.

   If there is an older build on the testing track, your release candidate will replace it.

   

3. Click the Start button next to the name of your track to start the distribution

   If all goes well, the Status of the build should change to Testing.
