问题
I started a beta test for an app in the Play Store, but I probably want to use another certificate for the production ('real' release) APK without changing the package name.
Is this possible?
回答1:
Just tested it, it isn't possible, not even Alpha- and Beta-Test APKs can't have different certificates.
回答2:
It might be possible as suggested on developer support site:
Through alpha- and beta-testing functionality, Google Play Developer Console lets you test two different versions of your app at the same time in addition to your production version. Here’s how:
Select an APK for your alpha or beta test. Select the group of users for each test. Publish your alpha- or beta-test APK. Ask your testers to opt in. Alpha- or beta-test apps will only appear in Google Play for testers that opt-in and not to any other users. A production APK is not required to publish an alpha- or beta-test app. It may take up to 24 hours after publishing for the test link to become active.
