Two-factor authentication

Two-factor authentication is a store security rule that customers are required to use depending on their store configuration.

In case you have the two-factor authentication enabled and you have granted us global access, you should add your telephone number and InEvent's corporate number so we can publish the App.

How can I set up a test environment for my app?

Google Play Console provides setup features to help you and others beta test the licensing of your application before it is published. By implementing licensing, you can make use of the Play Console features to test your application's policies and the handling of different licensing responses or error conditions.

Set up application licensing

1. Log in to Google Play Console
2. Click on Setup > License testing

1. In the box Add license testers, you can enter the Gmail addresses of your testers.
2. At the bottom right corner of the screen, select Save changes.

What is an internal, closed or open test?

By using the Play Console, you can test your app with three particular groups before you release it to production.

Each test group will help you gather the feedback you need to make the changes in your app as you continue to develop it.

Internal test

This is an up close and personal testing technique. The application is shared with up to 100 testers, who test the application for problems, bugs, and glitches.

Closed test

The closed test feature is used for pre-release version testing of the app with a larger group of testers compared to internal testing.

Open test

This is the final and most extensive form of app testing, as anyone can participate in the testing program and submit feedback. You can run the test with a large group of people and put the test version of the app on Google Play.
