12/15/2021, 12:48 PMYour QA should not worry about that popup to be honest, wonāt be shown to the user after it passes play review

12/15/2021, 1:21 PMDo you already have that app in store ?
Is this apk signed with release key ?
t
Thomas Coutard
12/15/2021, 2:09 PMThat means that the APK is not signed / recognized by the Google Play Store.
Your QA team can install anyway the app since it's yours.

12/15/2021, 2:29 PMHow can I make the Google Play Store recognize it? Will this problem appear when I download it from the store?

12/15/2021, 2:32 PM@Kamil Kalisz Yes in store, and my APK signed with a release key

Thomas Coutard
12/15/2021, 2:33 PMYou have to create a Google Play Developer account
https://play.google.com/console/u/0/developers/ to submit your app to be publish on the Google Play Store.
You also have to sign your APK with a key

12/15/2021, 2:53 PMDon't worry about it. It's the play store security popup. Just hit install anyway.

12/15/2021, 2:54 PMI get it all the time and my app has been on the store for 5+ years

12/15/2021, 2:57 PMThis message causes some concern to some users in the market and affects the effectiveness of the work and its income if it also appears through the store
ahmed qaisi
12/15/2021, 2:57 PMI have to find a solution ASAP

Colton Idle
12/15/2021, 3:02 PMthere is no solution lol. its the play store security mechanism on the device. it wont show up for actual users. only for builds that people download not from the play store.

12/15/2021, 3:06 PMāThis message causes some concern to some users in the market and affects the effectiveness of the work and its income if it also appears through the storeā
So message is displayed for users or for your QA team ?

12/15/2021, 3:08 PM@Kamil Kalisz No, In this time display for QA team from debug APK
k
Kamil Kalisz
12/15/2021, 3:13 PMso that is correct behaviour, as this is debug apk signed with debug key.
Try to sign your debug apk with āreleaseā key
Kamil Kalisz
12/15/2021, 3:13 PMor distribute test version through google play internal test program

ahmed qaisi
12/15/2021, 3:16 PMI already build debug APK with release key and message still appear
ahmed qaisi
12/15/2021, 3:17 PMToday I uploaded a build on the store to see if this message will disappear or not

12/15/2021, 4:30 PMWhat are you trying to get rid of? If you give someone debug apk either signature it will prompt that dialog. Use release apk with release key then.

Matti MK
12/15/2021, 4:58 PMOut of interest, does it really matter what you name your build variant? After all, you can generate a debug variant and sign it with release keys, or the other way around.. or just have whatever names

12/15/2021, 5:01 PMNo. It doesnāt matter
