In the Application Platform you pick the Android application ID (package name) from the apps on your Play Store account. Create new apps in Google Play Console.
Prerequisites
- A developer account in Google Play Console
- A Play Store account stored in the platform
- A service account with access to the apps (and ideally the Google Play Developer Reporting API enabled on the linked Cloud project so the platform can load the app list)
Create a new app
- Open Google Play Console.
- Click Create app.
- Enter the name, default language, and choose app or game.
- Set the application ID (package name, e.g.
com.example.app) — it is hard to change later. - Finish creation and accept the policies.
The package name then appears in the platform dropdown once the Play Store account is selected (re-open the dialog if needed).
If the list stays empty
- Check that the service account has access to the app in Play Console.
- In the linked Google Cloud project, also enable the Google Play Developer Reporting API (in addition to the Android Publisher API).
- Without the Reporting API, credentials can still be valid, but the app list may not load.
