I'm trying to add an in-app product to my draft Android app that has been uploaded to the Developer Console. But since no version of the app had ever been published, the Developer Console gives me this message:
Your in-app product has been marked to be activated when the application is published.
Is there no way to test in-app products before publishing the app? The guide says that you should be able to do this with a draft application:
... you can publish your in-app items while your APK is still a draft
but I just can't seem to figure out how. Any tips?
I should also mention that I was able to activate products for another app while it was still in draft, but I already had an older version of that app that was published. This time, I want the first version of the app to include an in-app product, but there seems to be no way to activate the products if you don't already have a (previously) published version of the app.
Though it shows this message Your in-app product has been marked to be activated when the application is published. in your developer console.
You can see that Product status is marked as 'ACTIVE'.
And you can test this product in your application.
