Android requires you to upload an APK with billing permissions through developer console to start testing real in app billing. This was straingtforward in the old developer console but in the new one, as soon as you upload an APK, it activates automatically and there is no way to de-activate.
I’ve seen a related question where they suggest using the old developer console but developer console does not let me use the old console because our app listing has localized content.
Update To be more clear, it lets me switch back to the old console but there is a message near my app saying
This app has localized images and/or videos, please edit in the new Developer Console.
instead of an edit button.
I’ve seen other people having the same issue without a solution.
Any workaround to be able to upload draft apk through the new developer console ?
I contacted Google. Looks like at this state there is nothing to do. Even if I delete localized store content, it wont let me use old console.
They said draft apk support is coming very soon.
