Adding a new group for Beta testing in Google Play Developer Console

Question

I would like to use the new Alpha/Beta testing feature in Developer Console, which were recently introduced by Google. I am getting "Group not suitable" error when attempting to add a new group.

I am unable to add new users from my personal Google groups or my application Google groups.

How do I add new Group to Alpha testing without getting the "Group not suitable" error message?

Solution 1

You should provide group email address as the form says. For example: [email protected]

Solution 2

My groups name is "GRDroid Beta Testers" so the email address must be

[email protected]

Other example "GRDroidAlphaTesters", the email address must be

[email protected]

Solution 3

For those who aren't sure if they want to add a Group or a Community:

For adding a GROUP, use email of the group in a form [email protected]

For adding a COMMUNITY, use URL of that Community

Solution 4

Make sure you create and add a Google+ COMMUNITY, not a CIRCLE. Learned that distinction the hard way.

Solution 5

if adding @googlegroups.com suffix doesn't work for you, you might be confused between email contact group with Google Group. At first, I created an email group in my contact, and added into developer console, it kept saying that 'Group not found', that made me crazy. Ultimately, I realized that there is another Google Group on earth. :)
