GPD Beta Groups

Use this skill when managing beta testers, groups, and build distribution on Google Play.

List and manage testers

gpd publish testers list --package com.example.app --track internal
gpd publish testers list --package com.example.app --track beta
gpd publish testers add --package com.example.app --track internal --group testers@example.com

Distribute builds to testing tracks

gpd publish release --package com.example.app --track internal --status completed
gpd publish release --package com.example.app --track beta --status completed

Caution: --status completed ships immediately to all users of that track. For production and other staged rollouts, add health checks between stages — monitor Android vitals (crashes, ANRs) and reviews before widening distribution — and prefer --status inProgress with incremental rollout --percentage steps instead of shipping to everyone at once.

Promote between testing tracks

gpd publish promote --package com.example.app --from-track internal --to-track beta
gpd publish promote --package com.example.app --from-track beta --to-track production

Notes

• Use --track internal for fast internal distribution.
• Prefer IDs for deterministic operations; use the ID resolver skill when needed.
