**TL;DR:** Connect your Google Play Console to Applivery MDM to gain advanced control over private app management and deployment.

:::warning
Connecting a Google Play Console account requires Google Mobile Services and is **not available on AOSP Devices**. On AOSP, private App Distribution is handled through the [Applivery Self-Service](https://docs.applivery.com/en/device-management/android/policies/agent/#self-service-portal) — no Google Play account needed. See [AOSP Android Management](/en/device-management/android/aosp-android-mdm) for details.

Applivery MDM relies on Google’s Managed Google Play for Apps Management and distribution. The standard Managed Google Play will be sufficient for your use case if you want to use public Google Apps already generally available in Google Play. It will also enable you to deploy and manage Private Apps in a very straightforward –but limited– way.

However, if you need to manage Private Apps in a very advanced way, sometimes you would prefer to use your own Google Play Console account to manage your Apps. That could be the case if you want to:

-   Have full control over the Google Play Console Account.
    
-   Connect your own CI & CD pipelines to automate Private Apps Deployment.
    
-   Share your Private Apps with other organizations.
    

**Log in to Google Play Console**

Go to the [Google Play Console](https://play.google.com/console) and log in using your credentials. Once logged in, select one of your Developer Accounts.

**Configure App Settings**

Once inside the Google Play Console, select one of your Apps and go to **Setup > Advanced Settings> Managed Google Play**. Under the Organizations section, you will see the list of Organizations that have access to that App.

**Add Applivery Organization**

Click the **Add organization** button to add your Applivery MDM organization. The form will request your name and the Applivery Organization ID.

Once in the [**Applivery Dashboard**](https://dashboard.applivery.io/), navigate to the **Settings** section, and from the left-hand menu select **Android Setup**. At the top, you’ll find the Applivery Enterprise ID.

**Save Changes**

Click **Add** and then **Save changes**.

Now your Private App will be visible in the Applivery MDM Managed Google Play, and you will be able to select it as any other application from the **Apps** section of your Policies. Just click the **\+ Add App** button and search for the name of the App or the Package name.

:::info
Google could take **up to 72 hours** to make your Private Apps visible across the new organizations. We recommend planning this configuration for any critical deployment.
