I'm trying to upload an app through Google Play Console. I currently have the "App Content" left nav item selected in Google Play Console. The right-hand details panel shows a single card with a title of "Target audience and content." This card shows an info box at the bottom which says:
"Let us know if your app contains ads before starting the Target audience and content section"
However, GPC doesn't display any type of button or url to take me to the relevant section to configure this info. I went through the other left nav items but I wasn't able to identify the relevant area to configure the requested information. Can you identify how to get to the appropriate section to configure this information?
Try doing this in incognito window.
you must have enabled ad blocker.
It worked for me.
it is under Store presence > Pricing & distribution for the selected app. hope this helps!
Not sure when this changed, but it no longer has the "Store presence" section. This is now located under Pricing & Distribution

When I test my website on Google SDTT it will show:
This is not a verified publisher markup.
Error: Missing required field "updated".
Error: Missing required hCard "author".
How can I solve it? And is this affecting my SEO rating?
You will need to integrate your personal Plus profile with website and vice versa.
Follow this:
Create a link to your Google+ profile from your webpage, like this:
Google
Replace [profile_url] with the your Google+ profile URL, like this:
Google
Your link must contain the ?rel=author parameter. If it's missing, Google won't be able to associate your content with your Google+ profile.
Add a reciprocal link back from your profile to the site(s) you just updated.
Edit the Contributor To section.
In the dialog that appears, click Add custom link, and then enter the website URL.
If you want, click the drop-down list to specify who can see the link.
Click Save.

UPDATE:
In a very latest update issued today only, Google has confirmed that they are completely removing authorship feature from Google search. Pls follow updates here: https://plus.google.com/u/0/+JohnMueller/posts/HZf3KDP1Dm8
You are using the hEntry Microformat. This Microformat requires three classes:
entry-title
updated
author
You are missing updated and author.
(See my answer to a question with a similar problem.)
These errors most likely won’t affect your ranking, Google might just consider not showing a Rich Snippet.
I made a script using Gmail API to get list of contacts. The script working fine but I want to make it more better as for now, when Login POPUP of Gmail is opened it displays this
xxxxxxxxxx.apps.googleusercontent.com is requesting permission to:
Manage your contacts
Where xxxxxxxxxx is my Client ID. I dont want it to be shown. I want to display my API Project Name here like this
"My API Name" is requesting permission to:
Manage your contacts
Is this even possible to do this? If yes then how?
Thanks
Perhaps try this out:
Search for "Google API Console" in the browser.
On the API console page, on the left hand side menu bar, under "APIs & auth", click on "Consent Screen". Setup project name, upload logo, etc.
See if this helps.
I also seem to remember that during oAuth, you need to pass Application Name (which can be the same as Product Name found in Consent Screen option at step 2 above.
I have set up my google+ account with everything linked to my website, my website linking to Google+ as per instructions, but photo is not showing in search results, even though the google testing says all is fine.
My site is www.mikegeorgiades.com (Google+ link code in homepage).
My Google+ page is https://plus.google.com/u/0/b/105269586899946171489/+Mikegeorgiades-guitarist-for-hire
Is there any reason why the test would appear OK but not for real? Is there a lag? Thanks!
that can have multiple reasons:
On their help pages the Google guys wrote that "Your Google+ profile picture should be a good, recognisable head-shot". When you browse the web via Google’s search engine you probably see a lot of images which do not show “good, recognisable head-shots”. I think it belongs to Google whether the picture shows up or not.
Google Authorship does not work when you link to a Google+ business page instead of a real profile page.
You did not add a link back from your site to your Google+ page (see this help page (Option 2)).
Your author info is hidden to the public. Google don't like hidden stuff. Make sure that your reciprocal backlink is not hidden via CSS.
Very obvious: Your Google+ profile has no profile picture.
Your site is cached and the backlink is not yet integrated into the source code. Try to clear your cache.
Your backlink is missing the rel="author" attribute.
Your backlink is missing the ?rel=author attribute in the URL (ex. href="http://plus.google.com/u/0/123456789/?rel=author")
Check that your E-Mail Address (if added to your Google+ profile) is on the same domain as your content (read more about it here: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/1408986)
Make sure that the byline of your content includes the same name as in your Google+ profile. For example: When your Google+ Profile is "John Doe" your byline has to be "By John Doe" and not "By Doe John" or anything else.
You have not submitted your E-Mail address via this page: http://plus.google.com/authorship
Your Google+ profile is not visible to the public.
Your Google+ profile has been excluded to the search (so no one can find you via Google`s search engine).
There are multiple authors on one page. Google always uses only the first author that has been mentioned on a page.
You did not add your website to "Contributor To" section (click here to do that now: http://plus.google.com/me/about/edit/co)
The "Contributor To" section is not visible to the public.
The Rich Snippet Testing Tool throws errors (even if they are not related to authorship)
Last but not least: Google just does not want to display your profile picture
Update 1: More reasons can be:
Some users said that it also won't work when your website was not confirmed as yours in Google Webmaster Tools.
Some said that they got it to work after adding the same URL in Google+ as in Google Webmaster tools (Within Google webmaster tools you can setup the preferred domain (www or non-www).)
I'm not working at Google but I think when the Rich Snippet Testing Tool shows your picture it should appear in search results after some days.
Update 2: One more:
You have deactivated the option that noone can find your picture in Googles search results. To solve this go to https://www.google.com/settings/plus and scroll down to the "Profile" section. Activate the checkbox beside "Help others discover my profile in search results." (in German this is: "Andere sollen mein Profil in Suchergebnissen finden können").
Update 3: One more:
John Mueller (Webmaster Trends Analyst # Google) announced that in the near future Google will not longer show the profile picture in search results. Instead it will show up on Google News only. However the name will still show up on search results pages. Preview image can be found here: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/1408986
I recently experienced my photo disappearing from the search results and I, too, verified that everything else was correct under the structured data testing tool. At first my photo snippet was showing in the SERP but then it vanished. I was also trying different profile photos. I had one with dimensions of 400x400 pixels and another one with dimensions of 256x256 pixels. I didn't fully verify it, but Google apparently didn't like my 400x400 photo. Google wants a clear profile photo of your face. Perhaps some algorithm found my larger photo too grainy or something along those lines. Changing my photo back to the 256x256 version caused my photo to reappear in the search results! I'd suggest trying different dimensions, different photo formats, perhaps even changing the color profile. The search results were updated fairly quickly after I uploaded a working photo. Seems like I saw results in under an hour, YMMV.
You can refer to the photo I used, along with my Contributor to links, at my Google+ page at https://plus.google.com/108810746834291116055. The page that I have my authorship set at is http://blog.ikiapps.com using rel=author.
Update on 2014-Apr-27:
I can confirm my advice worked for me again after completely changing my Google profile to another account and losing the visibility of my authorship associated photo in search results for a brief period of time. It is now restored after following what I posted here.
I have facepile plugin on my webpage to show faces who are using the application.
The code snippet to show facepile is
<fb:facepile id="some_id" data-size="medium" data-width="396">
</fb:facepile>
Faces are showing normally.But when I use "Use facebook as:" option from the facebook homepage and selects any of my listed pages, facepile plugin on my webpage turns weird and shows a white box with a small thumbnail and an anchor(with text 'switch') on top of it On inspecting element with chrome's right click context menu I found it's an iframe with width being 396px and height being 1000px which displays in the middle of page hiding html form for normal login too.
If I revert to my profile using "Use facebook as:" option faces start showing normally.
Am I missing something or It's a bug?
I already checked a similar question but that is related to user being not logged.
Also I checked this bug listed
on facebook developer page but it seems to be resolved.
This is intended behaviour, although obviously the error message should be a bit better - the Facepile (and indeed, most of the Social Plugins) is designed to only work with User accounts. You can be fairly sure that 99.9% of people viewing the plugins will not be "Using Facebook as" a Page.
As Pages aren't designed to really interact with Facebook APIs (beyond the manage_pages functionality) then it is likely that these plugins won't be fixed to work for page accounts, but they'd be fixed to show a message informing anyone logged in as a Page to switch back to their user account.

This is the first Facebook App i've created since the Timeline changes. Everything appears to be working the same, except for adding the app to my page's Timeline "Favorites"(?) (the boxes at the top near the About section). A large majority of the traffic to this app will come from visitors seeing the app tab on our page.
I'm attempting to add it using the following URL:
http://www.facebook.com/dialog/pagetab?app_id=MYAPPID&redirect_uri=MYAPPURL
Then I select the page, and click "Add Page Tab".
This works fine - I can then swap it's position, view the app, edit settings, etc.
I set up the tab how I want it, and then log out and visit my Facebook Page directly to view the app tab as a visitor would. The app is no longer there. Log back in, everything is fine, log back out, it's gone. It appears that if you do not already Like the page, you cannot see the app. If you do like the page, you can see it. I'd like the app to be viewable by people who do not like the page as well, as the app has a fan gate of it's own.
I've disabled Sandbox mode as well so i'm not sure what's left to do.
Any help is appreciated.
You mentioned in the comments that the app is restricted to US users:
Because your app is restricted, it won't be displayed to logged-out browsers - this is expected because unless the user is logged-in, their location and age can't be determined in order to check the restrictions you've set
If you must have the app visible to logged-out users, remove the API-level restriction and use the details passed in the signed_request to show or hide the app's content
{edit} I missed the edit to your question {/edit} - it may also be that your existing signed_request processing code is failing for logged out users
