description	Orchestrate Google Play beta testing groups and distribution using gpd. Use when managing testers, internal testing, or beta rollouts.

GPD Beta Groups

Use this skill when managing beta testers, groups, and build distribution on Google Play.

List and manage testers

gpd publish testers list --package com.example.app --track internal
gpd publish testers list --package com.example.app --track beta
gpd publish testers add --package com.example.app --track internal --group [e-mail]

Distribute builds to testing tracks

gpd publish release --package com.example.app --track internal --status completed
gpd publish release --package com.example.app --track beta --status completed

Caution: --status completed ships immediately to all users of that track. For production and other staged rollouts, add health checks between stages — monitor Android vitals (crashes, ANRs) and reviews before widening distribution — and prefer --status inProgress with incremental rollout --percentage steps instead of shipping to everyone at once.

Promote between testing tracks

gpd publish promote --package com.example.app --from-track internal --to-track beta
gpd publish promote --package com.example.app --from-track beta --to-track production

Notes

• Use --track internal for fast internal distribution.
• Prefer IDs for deterministic operations; use the ID resolver skill when needed.
