Get Chaos Screen Recorder on Google Play
Another upload before the school run
For about twenty minutes in the morning I worked on the Chaos Screen Recorder. Then I went back into the garage and uploaded the latest version to Google Play Console. I was not sure it was the latest, so I uploaded a new one anyway and made sure the submission for review had gone through smoothly.
Testing with the oldest version
The premium version was not working in the AAB file I had uploaded to Google Play Console. To upgrade to premium I had to install the oldest version of my recorder. I did that, gave my phone to Lance, and he played his game all the way to the very end.
A Hail Mary rebuild
By 10:25 p.m. I had hit a dead end. I could not get the premium products, or the one time premium products, to work, and I was banging my head against the wall. I went Hail Mary and asked Claude to rebuild the app entirely with the new libraries Google Play Console requires.
