Google Play

Connect Google Play with a service account JSON to sync release tracks and reviews.

The Google Play connector authenticates with a Google Cloud service account and reads from the Android Publisher API. It does not need access to your developer account password.

Steps

Open the Google Cloud Console and select the project linked to your Play account.
Enable the Google Play Android Developer APIfrom APIs & Services → Library.
Create a service account under IAM & Admin → Service Accounts. Skip the optional grant steps.
On the new service account, click Keys → Add Key → JSON. Download the file — it looks like {"type":"service_account",...}.
In Play Console → Users and permissions, invite the service account email and grant it the View app information and View financial data roles for the apps you want to sync.
Paste the JSON into Capreolus under Settings → Integrations → Google Play.

What we pull

Release tracks (production / beta / internal) and rollout %.
APK / AAB version codes per track.
Crash-free user rates from Android Vitals.
Reviews and replies, synced every 30 minutes.

Capreolus stores the service account JSON encrypted at rest with envelope encryption. You can rotate the key from the Google Cloud Console at any time and Capreolus will pick up the new one on the next scheduled sync.
