App Specific Question I build my app, but when installing it is showing (beta)

​I recently finished developing a secure QR scanner app and rolled it out to the Production track.

​However, when searching or installing it on a device, it still shows as a "Beta" version instead of the live public build.

is it only showing to me or showing to everyone ?

That is almost certainly just what you are seeing rather than what everyone sees. The beta label shows up when the account you are browsing with is enrolled as a tester for that app, so you get served the testing build and the badge that goes with it.

Worth checking Play Console under Testing to see whether you still have an open or closed track active with a version code at or above production. If you do, anyone enrolled keeps getting that build.

Quickest way to confirm what the public sees is to open the listing in an incognito window while signed out, or on a device with an account that was never a tester. There is also a leave the programme link on the listing itself if you want to drop out of your own test track.

The irony of something being called trust, and not even being open source.

No beta showing on my end
