The following tools and resources will help you make the most of the Play Integrity API as part of your anti-abuse strategy.
Monitor Play Integrity API status
The Play status dashboard shows status information for the Play Integrity API. Information will be posted about service status including any disruptions and outages. If you're experiencing an issue not listed on the page, please contact Google Play developer support.
Test different Play Integrity API responses with your app
You can create tests to evaluate how the Play Integrity API interacts with your app. For email addresses you specify, you can select the integrity verdicts or error code they should get in your app from Google Play's servers. This lets you test how your app reacts to all possible responses and errors.
You can set up a test in your Play Console. In the Release section of the left menu, go to App integrity. Next to Play Integrity API, click Settings and find Testing to get started. For detailed instructions, see the Play Console help center.
Note that for test responses an additional testingDetails field appears in the
returned payload.
testingDetails: {
isTestingResponse: true
}
Check the device integrity verdict from any device
If you need to verify what integrity verdict the Play Integrity API returns for your app on a particular device—for example, while debugging or troubleshooting a user-reported issue—you can use the Play Store app to generate a Play Integrity API verdict for that device.
First, enable the Play Store's developer options on the device. Tap your profile icon and then tap Settings. Open the About menu and tap the row labeled Play Store version seven times to unlock developer mode.
Then, to generate a verdict from an Android device, open the Play Store app. Tap your profile icon and then tap Settings. Open the General menu and then tap Developer options. In Play Integrity settings, tap Check integrity to generate a verdict.
Help users fix integrity issues
The Play Integrity API provides various Play remediation dialogs that you can trigger within your app to assist users in resolving specific verdict issues.
To guide users towards resolving device integrity issues, you can direct them to the troubleshooting feature within the Play Store app. To fix the device integrity issues, instruct the user to do the following steps:
- Open the Google Play Store app.
- At the top right, tap the profile icon.
- Tap Settings > About > Play Protect certification.
- Tap Fix device issue. This button is only visible to users whose devices don't pass Play device integrity checks. The user will then see a series of prompts that will help them troubleshoot and, if possible, fix the device issue.
