Google Play business community’s Post

Notes from Play is out, capping off an exciting year for Google Play! 2024 has gone by so quickly, but moments like this remind me how important it is for us to pause and reflect on all that we’ve accomplished together.  Watch our end-of-year recap video featuring Sam Bright, VP & GM, Google Play + Developer Ecosystem or read about it at g.co/play/notes to see the strides we’ve made to support developers.  Here’s some highlights: • Confident launches: New tools to help avoid issues before launch, so that you can put your best foot forward with users • Accelerated growth: AI-powered discovery and enhanced store listings, because great apps deserve to be spotlighted • Deeper engagement: Collections that give people easier access to engage with your apps directly on their home screens • Optimized revenue: Expanded payment options for diverse needs, so that you can run your business your way • Reinforced trust: Robust security measures to protect your business, giving you peace of mind in knowing your users are protected • Investment in our community: Programs like the Indie Games Accelerator and the Indie Games Fund to create more opportunities for developers to shine It’s been heart warming to see the impact of these various initiatives and I can’t wait to see what innovative apps and games this community will create with our tools in the year ahead!  Let's Go Play! #GooglePlay

Finally!!! A sports betting product leveraging the unpredictable rewards payout mechanism or what Betr may have coined 'dynamic payouts'. Dynamic payouts are already being leveraged by multiple highly popular gambling products including Slots, Crash games, and lotteries. Well done to Joey Levy & Betr on the launch of this exciting product. Is this the start of many sports betting markets leveraging dynamic payouts? At Betlabs our Boost Bets algorithm enables operators and platform providers to make dynamic payouts (with reliable margins) part of their everyday sports betting markets.

My mini category generator for parties is already available on Google Play 😁 I'm slowly working on my platformers in Unity until my laptop starts to refuse obedience because it's overloaded. I think, "I'll work on other projects for a while; after buying better equipment, I'll come back and finish my 'more ambitious' games." That is until I'm gently reminded, and a warning pops up on my Google Play console about closing the dev account if the app isn't published by the X day. Oops, what now? My hardware won't let me finish my games, and X day is approaching inexorably quickly. And that's when my small, basic mobile app comes to the rescue. It’s basically a category generator for a party game. In short, if you want to play Categories, this app is a good helper.   Of course, it turned out that playing with UI scaling, optimizations, version upgrades, and Google's requirements consumes some ‘mental resources’, but it was fun overall. I know it’s very basic, especially compared to my platformer games with different mechanics, but if anyone needs it, the app is already running on Google Play 😊   LINK: https://lnkd.in/dm-xzyvW P.S. Large and XLarge screens are temporarily not supported.

Play Store's 14-day closed testing for a new app—at first, I was frustrated with this policy from Google. However, I’ve now realized how necessary it actually is. You can’t imagine how many bugs were identified and filtered out during these 14 days. In the end, I truly appreciate the Play Console team for implementing this, as it was absolutely needed. #GooglePlay #AppDevelopment #ClosedTesting #BugFixing #StartupJourney #TechPolicy #PlayStore #MobileAppTesting #AppLaunch #DeveloperExperience #PlayConsole #TechUpdates #AppGrowth #MobileDevelopment #SoftwareQuality

1st time decided to run the Play Store listings experiment for my own app to find out what performs better. And today I stopped it manually after almost a month. Conclusion 👇 ♦ 2 variants, 50/50 audience, more installers from a new variant. Looks good. ♦ I feel it runs too long and still displays "Your experiment has not collected enough data to provide a confidence interval." Have no idea how much time it needs to be completed. Probably is because the audience is still small. NeonFrame.app The next one experiment will be for screenshots. Let's see how much time it will take again. #androiddeveloper #googleplay #androidapp
