after trying to do this with some short cut videos and getting nowhere I thought (rightly) maybe it's a case of getting what you went to, so I decided to invest a bit more time , around 10 or so minutes, into your video....

Amazing! I was just thinking why anyone not making an updated video for publishing. You are great as always. Just in case, I would like to recommend some videos about some possible rejection from google play (common mistakes developers do).
They will beat you around and up in the beginning but later they leave you alone. They just wanna make sure you're serious about your app. No problems later
omg thank you so much!! i just spent last 4 hours trying to get to upload and kept getting unsigned package error. it was the arm architecture that screwed me over. also make sure to uncheck that debug option. thank you very much for this awesome video!
Uncheck debug and Development build, and if your app is bigger than 150mb, check the 'Split Application Binaries' in the Publishing Settings of the Player Settings.
Very good tutorial! I do have a question tho. I can't seem to find the video you were talking about where you show how to generate those images in Unity itself?
you are really amazing , after I search for many tutorial , none of them acrually help me , until you show up ,a lot of thanks , the way you teach is quite clearly and detail,good job

Hello! Excellent video! I have a question about min 2:46 I don't know what to put in my game there are only Rewarded videos and you can also buy Coins within the application. In my case do I have to put yes or no?
Why am I getting, The Android App Bundle was not singed?. I have extra options for signed by google play and singing keys. So I can't upload for internal testing until I can figure it out
Might be because you have debug or development build selected. You'll also probably need to select 'Separate App Binaries' in the Publishing settings too.
@@raulrusboy Yup, that was it. I saw a about it too but didn't realise the check box was in the build settings and not the android settings. Literally found the button a couple hours before your message but that was it!
Hello! Does ARM64 Architecture affect the game in any way? Like the graphics, FPS etc? Should additional testing be made after the architecture was changed for ARM64 ?
Thanks for the tutorial. I'm having a few issues in the internal testing phase that I wasn't getting when running the app in Unity. For example, when I try to open the camera the screen goes black and there are no requests for camera access. Any ideas?
9:53 Mine when upload got "You uploaded a signed APK or Android App Bundle in debug mode. You must sign your APK or Android App Bundle in release mode"
@@CocoCode When you are updating the app, below the app bundle, there is an option to include app versions from your previous release? Do you know what that is for?
How about some A* pathfinding as your next video? Say, pathfinding on a chess grid board. Orthogonal and diagonal. Kind of like in Overland game (which looks like might have been made in Unity)?
Seems a few things have changed. Had to submit changed to google and I am now waiting (stats 7+ Days) for a review before my game can be active and it's currently inactive with a dead link to the google play store location. Have I done something wrong?
I have a problem with internal testing, after opening link game can't be downloaded and says that "product unavailable" Note that there is no warnings on google play with the game file
Woooooww. Excelent video!! Simple and objective. The limited version API in 32 for google play limit the android version of my game. How can I maintain in older versions of android? hugs.
Unfortunately google play now makes us go through closed testing where we must get 20 testers to opt in to test the game for 14 days for dev accounts made after Nov 13
Oh wow, that makes a huge difference! In my opinion it’s a good change - may reduce/slow down Google Play spam. I understand the frustration it causes for smaller developers, but it also requires to plan out your release
Yeah will probably help with quality control for Google play, but definitely does throw a spanner in the works for smaller developers who may struggle with finding 20 testers, will make sure I account for this extra time needed next release 🙏
Hi man, great tutorial, what about this warning i get: "There is no deobfuscation file associated with this App Bundle. If you use obfuscated code (R8/proguard), uploading a deobfuscation file will make crashes and ANRs easier to analyze and debug. Using R8/proguard can help reduce app size." ?
Hello, on minute 8:15, on the "Build" section from "Publishing Settings" should we have only the "Custom Main Manifest" checked? And the other settings empty?
If that's your first keystore, type in your new password for it. Think of it as a new account (it's not windows/google/Unity password). Remember to keep it somewhere save!
3:37 Can I edit one of the previous steps? (I just completed the Data Safety step, but need to update it, I haven't continued with the app setting in the google play console)
Amazing amazing tutorial Ty very much. Please add a tutorial explaining the Unity Dashboard Liveops Auth - using Google Play games sigin. Mybe others liveOps features ate unity dashboard too. For me, the liveops features is very hard to use. The unity docs is very week!
Maybe I will cover that in a future video, basically: > Internal testing - instant release, up to 100 defined emails, intended for in-house testing of your game > Closed testing - it's quite similar to the internal testing, but this time there is no limit on the number of users that can join this testing track. You can either invite a ton of emails or even setup a "join beta" link and share it online > Open testing - everyone will be able to go to your store page and click "Join open beta testing". Only availabe if you already have a published game. Hopefully that is clear ;)
Unity is super unstable when build. It is nightmare!!!! Always graddle errors, but sometimes it works ... Could you please make explanation video about errors when building! Thanks
Make apps in unity it's more easier than other languages such as android studio. Because Unity haven't issues with gadle or other dependencies. I have too many problems with Android Studio when I open old projects, sometimes I can't run them again.
I was having trouble with uploading, and it was so stupid but just in case anyone else has this problem. I checked development build because you know it's not ready for release yet so I just thought check that. But this caused an error with google not recognizing the "app signing" so if anyone else is having this issue just make sure you don't have development build checked
Excellent video. But i have small problem. After i send it to my testers they report that they cant download it. Problem is that they have on screen that is not working with their phone. Is there something what i can do to resolve this problem? Because i found some solution but i cant ask 100 testers to do something with their phones. Thank you for any suggestions.
I see that you use stable version unity 2021.1. An dyou going for max API 32. I just wounder what Java are you using? What gradle version are you using to make API 32 work? Im stuck at API30. Cant upgrade.... Thanks if you can answer
Hi, I've just got an email from Google saying there's a "Google play games on PC" .... Now is this a separate store for PC games or do you have to make your Android games compatible with your PC ?
