How can I publish my app in Alpha test mode only?

I've been searching online but I still haven't found the answer to this..

On the Google Play Developer Console, I uploaded an APK file to the 'Production' tab. I now want to test the app in 'Alpha' mode first. How can I test the app in 'Alpha' without publishing the Production APK at the same time?

I've already published then unpublished the 'Production' version, so it seems I can't delete the app from the console and start again.

Solution

  • Go to publish section click on your app, click on "APK", then click "Alpha Testing" then upload now new APK.

    Does this work?

    I have App in production and can upload alpha/beta apks...

    Edit:

    taken from this thread:

    click on "Advanced Mode" click on "Production" -> Deactivate APK

    then proceed as mentioned above
