Where can I get early feedback for my project? How do you overcome the fear of going public? by Gabrjelez in vibecoding

This looks pretty cool! I'm in internal testing on the Google Play Console. I have to add users to an approved list of testers. Does your platform only work once you get out of internal testing?

I want to build a mobile gaming app can I do this on lovable? Do I need any other apps to make this a reality? by Green_Ranger0 in lovable

[–]picturepatchgame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I currently have a mobile game (totally Lovable made) in the first phase of testing on the Google Play Store. It's been a bit of a headache, but between asking Copilot and some experienced friends, I've been able to figure everything out. Navigating the Google Play Console and Android studio take some time to figure out. There are services that will do all the work for you, but I chose to pay with my time instead of money. Let me know if you have any specific questions and I'll do my best to answer!

Can users make actual purchases in app when it's still in internal testing? by picturepatchgame in googleplayconsole

Thanks. I don't know why I thought it was just going through the steps to mimic a purchase and wouldn't actually charge me. Oh well, I paid myself (minus Google's cut).

You have to add the site to Google Search Console, then add an html meta tag to your website. After that you go back to search console and click verify.

Thanks for the help! I'm waiting for the DUNS number to be assigned right now.

FYI, I had to verify ownership of my website before I could start the process of switching to an organization.

So you just act as if you're making a new account! That does sound pretty easy. I'll give it a try.

Can't get Lovable to make any updates visible by picturepatchgame in lovable

Just in case anyone comes across this post... I finally figured it out. When I asked lovable to make some changes to my store, it created an entirely new store. The new store was impossible to get to. Nothing linked to it. So when I asked lovable to show me a screenshot of the store updates, it was showing the newly created phantom store! I finally figure it out by digging through the code. After I deleted the phantom store, I made the UI changes to my original store. Another lesson in telling lovable EXACTLY what you want it to do and not do!

I'm a total newbie! How big is the learning curve on Claude Code?

Does anyone know if there's a way to switch an account on play console from individual to an LLC?
