Play Core In-App Review API not showing the Review Activity

Question

I\'m trying to utilize the Review API (Play Core library 1.8.0) from Google which was just released yesterday. See https://developer.android.com/guide/playcore/in-app-review

Answer 1

Just to be clear you are not using com.mypackage right?

2020-08-06 16:01:29.318 29618-29618/? I/PlayCore: UID: [10409]  PID: [29618] ReviewService : requestInAppReview (com.mypackage)

Ensure that the appId used is the one that it's "owned" (aka installed by) by the selected account in the Play Store in the device.

I believe the test guide (https://developer.android.com/guide/playcore/in-app-review/test) is clear in terms of how to test it given the different requirements.

My tips:

1. Use only one account in the device
2. Ensure that account has installed the app (appears in the app & games > Library section in Play Store)
3. The account is a GMAIL one, not a GSuit
4. You can review with the account if you go to the app play listing page.
5. The account has not reviewed
6. If you intend to use the Internal Test Track ensure the account has joined the test track.
7. When switching between different accounts and testing things out, sometimes might be helpful to "Clear Data" from the Play Store app.
8. Try all the above with different account

PS: You could test also the Internal App Sharing.
