Unable to link "Google Cloud Project" for API access within Google Play Store

I have an issue where an error is shown when I make an attempt to link my PlayStore to a Google Cloud Project. There are 2 options:

  • Link existing project - the dropdown actually shows my cloud project in the dropdown to select.
  • Create new project Selecting either one of those and clicking "Link Project" gives "An unexpected error has occurred. Please try again. (76F5052F)". And the spinner spins indefinitely.

I have tried different browsers and been doing that for a few days just to make sure its not some temporary issue.

I have also got "Google Play Android Developer API" enabled within Google Cloud "APIs & Services". Also it is successfully linked to a Firebase project if this has any difference.

I need to link the project to Google could project so that I could use "Google Play Developer API" to validate in app purchase receipts.

I have read through and tried the folowing with no success.

Any pointers/help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Konaras, I've experienced exactly the same problem for a couple of weeks. Even though the error shows up in Google Play, on every such attempt the "Google Play Console Developer" project is created in the Google Cloud, but for some reason, it couldn't be linked to Google Play.

I have contacted Google Play support multiple times about this problem, but got only "clean your browser cache and try again or contact Google Cloud".

It seemed like a project owners/permissions issue (maybe something related to recently released from beta Google Play console?), so I insisted on raising the priority of the case and even pointed them to this question. After that, I haven't heard from Google Play support for several days, but today I see the API access started working.

Konaras, try again and update if it's resolved on your side.

Please check this page https://developers.google.com/android-publisher/getting_started

Go "Under a service account" section.

Follow all steps and please read carefully this: "Note that you should grant your service account access to the project in order for it to appear in Google Play Console."

When you create service, in step 2, (API ACCESS PAGE) you have to add a role (owner). (Check image below)

If you followed all steps correctly, now your project is linked in your Google Play Console.
