Manage Developer Account

Android private apps are internal applications developed specifically for your organization and distributed only to enterprise users. These apps must be tested by the quality assurance team using testing tracks (such as alpha or custom) before being released to production. A Google Play Developer account is required to access and manage these testing tracks.
