Error `Null` when publishing to playstore tracks

[shiipou]

We can't publish to a playstore tracks because of the oogleapis/androidpublisher/v3 seems outdated. The google API return a null value on update tracks instead of returning map<string, dynamic>.

🎉 You are using the latest version (0.5.1)

fastforge publish --path build/app/outputs/bundle/prodRelease/app-prod-release.aab --targets playstore --playstore-package-name 'fr.neutronic.xxxx' --playstore-track internal-testing

Not a fix, but it seems your playstore-track argument must be qa not internal-testing. See the doc : https://developers.google.com/android-publisher/tracks#ff-track-name

@Xiaohequ After more test on my side, the doc seems incorrect, the internal-testing track name is just internal. I tried it using gcloud API, you have to create an edit, then get the edit ID. With that edit ID, you can list all your tracks.

Create edit

List all tracks

So here you can test it yourself.

But sadly, using this track name didn't fix the upload for me. I switched using fastlane instead :

fastlane upload_to_play_store --json_key ./service-account.json --package_name com.example.app --aab ../build/app/outputs/bundle/release/app-release.aab --track internal --release_status draft
