How it works

Each Google Apps for Business domain can now have a private channel in the Play Store. Domain administrators can give the user rights to publish applications in the developer console, as well as set up access to the channel in the Play Store for individual users and groups.

To see this channel on the device, users need to log in to Play using their corporate account.

How to turn on

Google Apps administrators can enable the channel in the control panel:

• In the Organizations & users> Services section, you need to enable the Google Play Developer Console .
• For a group of users who should be allowed to publish, you need:
  
  • In Settings> Mobile, allow updating Google Play Private Channel
  • In Organizations & users> Services, enable Google Play Developer Console for them
• Other users need to give access to Google Play Private Channel

Additional Information

• The channel is visible only from devices and is not yet available for the web interface.
• Each developer must undergo regular registration in the developer console (for $ 25)
• For applications in a private channel, ratings, reviews, pricing and targeting are available.
