name

gpd-id-resolver

description

Resolve Google Play identifiers (package names, track names, version codes, product IDs, subscription IDs, base plan IDs, offer IDs, permission IDs) using gpd CLI commands. Use when gpd commands require IDs or exact values, when you only know an app name or bundle, or when you need to look up track names, tester groups, or monetization product IDs. Triggers: "resolve ID", "package name", "track name", "version code", "product ID", "subscription ID", "Google Play ID", "gpd identifier".

GPD ID Resolver

Iron Law

NEVER PASS A HUMAN-READABLE NAME TO A GPD COMMAND THAT REQUIRES AN EXACT ID OR PACKAGE NAME — RESOLVE IT FIRST

Always pass --package explicitly. Use --all on list commands to avoid missing items.

Package name (app ID)

• Package name is the primary identifier: com.example.app.
• Always pass --package explicitly for deterministic results.

Track names

• Common tracks: internal, alpha, beta, production.
• List tracks:
  • gpd publish tracks --package com.example.app

Version codes and release status

• Use release status to find version codes on a track:
  • gpd publish status --package com.example.app --track production

Tester groups

• List testers by track:
  • gpd publish testers list --package com.example.app --track internal

Monetization IDs

• Products:
  • gpd monetization products list --package com.example.app
  • gpd monetization products get sku123 --package com.example.app
• One-time products:
  • gpd monetization onetimeproducts list --package com.example.app
• Subscriptions:
  • gpd monetization subscriptions list --package com.example.app
  • gpd monetization subscriptions get sub123 --package com.example.app
• Base plans and offers:
  • gpd monetization baseplans migrate-prices --package com.example.app sub123 plan456 --region-code US --price-micros 9990000
  • gpd monetization offers list --package com.example.app sub123 plan456

Permissions IDs

• Developer users:
  • gpd permissions users list --developer-id DEV_ID
• App grants:
  • gpd permissions grants create --package com.example.app --email [e-mail] --app-permissions CAN_REPLY_TO_REVIEWS

Anti-Patterns

• Don't pass a human-readable app name where a package name is required. Google Play commands require the exact package identifier (e.g. com.example.app), not the display name — using a display name silently fails or matches the wrong app.
• Don't rely on default pagination when listing monetization products or subscriptions. Use --all to avoid missing items; a truncated list means resolving the wrong or incomplete ID set.
• Don't hard-code version codes across sessions. Version codes change with each upload; always resolve the current version code via gpd publish status before operating on a specific release.

Verify

After resolving any ID:

• Echo the resolved value and confirm it matches the expected pattern before passing it to a subsequent command (e.g. package names must match ^[a-z][a-z0-9_]*(\.[a-z][a-z0-9_]*)+$).
• For monetization IDs, run gpd monetization products get <sku> --package com.example.app to confirm the ID is active and not archived before using it in pricing or offer operations.

Output tips

• JSON is default; use --pretty for debugging.
• Use --all on list commands to avoid missing items.
