I have an app that is currently in public beta and I'm interested in publishing it to production but I want the production version to be restricted to specific countries ( due to localisation issues). I know there's an option to restrict the app to specific countries, what I can't find an answer to is whether it will restrict my public beta as well. I want to keep the public beta available to all countries.
Quoting from Play Store support:
Pricing & Distribution changes: If you make any changes to your app's Pricing & Distribution page, it affects your app's current and future production, alpha, and beta versions.
Seems like restricting distribution by country also affects the alpha and beta testing.
Too bad.
