how to join beta apps in google play

-

Using the Google Play Developer Console, you can beta test your app with specific groups or open your test to Play Store users.

Requirements :

  • Email requirements: Users need a Google Account (@gmail.com) or a Google Apps account to join a test.
  • Pricing & Distribution changes: If you make any changes to your app's Pricing & Distribution page, it affects your app's current and future production, alpha, and beta versions.
  • Release
    • We recommend publishing an alpha/beta app before you release your app to production.
    • After publishing an alpha/beta app for the first time, it may take a few hours for your test link to be available to testers. If you publish additional changes, they may take several hours to be available for testers.

We recommend starting with a small group of alpha testers, then expanding your test to a larger beta test group.

Get feedback

Once your alpha or beta testers have installed your app, they'll be automatically updated to use the test version within a few minutes.
Because your testers can't leave public reviews for alpha/beta apps on Google Play, it's a good idea to include a feedback channel or let your users know how they can provide you with feedback (e.g. by email, website, or a message forum).
If you're running an open test (alpha or beta), your testers can also provide you with private feedback through the Play Store.

Version codes & testing track statuses

Version code requirements
Alpha testing group users are eligible for the alpha, beta, or production version of your app (with the highest version code that's compatible with their device). Beta testing group users are only eligible for the beta or production version of your app (with the highest version code that's compatible with their device).
This means your alpha APKs should have the highest version codes, followed by beta, and finally production.
  • If a beta APK is uploaded with a higher version code than an alpha APK, alpha users who can install both will install the beta APK instead of the alpha APK.
  • If a production APK is uploaded with a higher version code than an alpha or beta APK, some or all of your alpha and beta users will install the production APK, instead of APKs of the testing tracks.

It's April 1, and everyone knows it's April Fools' Day when no one's going to believe in whatsoever you may scream. But when it comes to some reputed and trusted tech companies, they easily get into people's minds with their 'new and latest offerings'. These, in most cases, would be hoax or joke offerings - those that will never exist, or those that will be available for a very short time just for laughs. Even before April 1, these companies start pushing their stories to goof around with you - with little teasers, such as the Dash Charge  announcement  that OnePlus had teased, before making briefly  available  the Dash Energy drink in select outlets Here are 2017's April Fools' tech pranks - the gimmicks, goofs, and pranks that companies decided to plan on us. Some are funny, some inane, and some lame. 1. Google Google  has always been on the frontier of people, with quirky innovations that usually get people believe it. It has some bizarre-...

Experience the Front Row in In Current VR technology most commonly uses virtual reality headsets or multi-projected environments, sometimes in combination with physical environments or props, to generate realistic images, sounds and other sensations that simulate a user's physical presence in a virtual or imaginary environment. A person using virtual reality equipment is able to "look around" the artificial world, move around in it, and interact with virtual features or items. The effect is commonly created by VR headsets consisting of a head-mounted display with a small screen in front of the eyes, but can also be created through specially designed rooms with multiple large screens. The Virtual Reality Modelling Language (VRML), first introduced in 1994, was intended for the development of "virtual worlds" without dependency on headsets. The Web3D consortium was subsequently founded in 1997 for the development of industry standards for we...
