Now, you will have to create what is called a track inside your Google Play console. This is basically a setup to manage your testing processes.
Here, you will be able to upload your APK, distribute it to a selected group of people, and track feedback as they test. You can manage both alpha and beta testing stages, too.
Follow the following steps to set up a beta track:
- Login to your Play Console and select your application.
- Locate App releases under Release management and select Manage under the Beta track.
- Upload your APK in the Artifacts section, then expand the Manage testers section.
- Under Choose a testing method, select Open Beta Testing.
- Copy the Opt-in URL and share it with your testers.
- Provide an email address or URL next to the Feedback channel in order to collect feedback from testers. Then, click Save to, well, save it.
