Add the googleplay object to the game.

Then edit the propeties of the object (click the plugin icon, then look at the properties window. The entry field is there)

I tried that, but it is not there. There are just 3 options in the Google Play object: Application ID, Client ID and Game ID. No Client secret. Is the Client ID the client secret?

Hello! I did some modifications in my game, but only design related and when I tried to re-upload my game on Google Play I get this message "Your APK is using permissions that require a privacy policy: (android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE)" Does anyone know why is this happening and how can I fix it? Do I really need to have a Privacy Policy? I export the game as unsigned .apk and sign it with the same key as I always do. Thank you!

Hello! I want to implement Google Play in my game, but in the manual it says that I need to type my Client secret in the google play object, inside my game. I found the Client secret in the Google Play Console account, but I see no field in Construct 3, called Client secret. Where should I type that? Thank you!

Hello! I have a few questions for Cordova. I uploaded my game on Google Play and linked it to Web app as suggested here:

https://www.scirra.com/manual/175/google-play

I am confused about what is the "URL it is played from", what should I add there? I found the Client Secret on Google Play Console, but I can't find the place where to add it in my game. Google Play plugin doesn't have this option in Construct 3. Where should I remove "Remove any uses of On auto-sign in failed" from? I did everything else, but it is still not working when I upload it to Google Play and download it on my phone, so I am obviously missing something... Thank you!

First and foremost refer to the manual for C3. https://www.scirra.com/manual/175/google-play

It should explain things clearly enough.

Google play will only work on mobile, in an exported application (not on preview).

In regards to issues with Construct 3, please visit the bug database and make sure your bug was not already reported.

If it was, you may add informations as comment to the ticket.

Otherwise create a new report and fill all the informations required to allow our devs to investigate in order to fix in the next releases of Construct 3.

I tried following the steps there, but there are some things not clear for me. Should I link my app to web or to android or both? I can find my client secret on google play, but I don't know where to add it in my game, as the Google Play object has no Client secret field to add it. It only has client ID, application ID and Game ID. Also even in preview, it seems that Sign in works, but Sign Out doesn't work, which confuses me as it is just a matter of pressing 2 different buttons...

Can someone PLEASE tell me how to implement Google Play into my game? I tried so many things I found online, but even for Sign In, when I click the button supposed to let me Sign in it "appears Google Play services has stopped". I spent few days trying to fix it, but nothing works. Can someone please post a step by step procedure of how to do it? Thank you!

Hello! I noticed that when I implement Mobile Advert, I can't export the game as debug or unsigned apk. Does this happen to anyone else? What should I do? Thank you!

Sounds like a long shot, but did you switch out the icons? I had an issue with a failed build after changing the icons. I reverted back to the original icons and all was well again. Either that or, coincidentally, the build server corrected itself at that particular time.

What do you mean by switching the icons?

So I added the new beta and indeed I have no black screen, However, I want to export it as debug apk (I tried unsigned apk, too) and I get Build failed. I also can't open it anymore with the previous version of C3, as I saved it with this new beta release... do you have any idea why this is the case? Thank you!

That's fine, Apple and Google seem to go out of their way to make their services hard to integrate with!

Are you using C2 or C3?

So what else should I do...

> Hello! Can someone help me with testing ads for my game? As far as I understand I don't need to connect the game to admob account (I just want to test it in the preview). I tried several things based on the documentation, but no ads show. If I use create banner advert on start of layout for some reason the screen gets black on the start of the game and nothing happens. I tried to do the same on configuration complete, but nothing happens (no black screen, but no ads either). I also call on banner loaded show the current banner advert, but again no result. I am doing all this in test mode, even added "TEST" to application id. Can someone help me with this please?

AFAIK, the preview will not show ads. You have to test on a device - silly and time consuming, I know. The black-screen issue is fixed in r90.2 - it's a bug.

I tried using the remote preview, and test in on my mobile, but it doesn't work either. This means that I need to actually create an apk in order to test it? Also about the black-screen, do I need to do anything to upload the version? I thought it is automatically done.
