title: Google Play Beta testing without a published app?
body: <p>I created my first Android app and wanted to let some users take part at the new Google beta testing feature. Unfortunately my app got published as a production APK and is visible to everyone now. That was not my intention, because my app is far from being released.</p>
  
  <p>If I unpublish my app it also get's inaccessible for the beta testing users. So I have to keep it published to run the beta test.</p>
  
  <p><strong>What are my possibilities to make the best of this situation?</strong></p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Using a dummy app as production APK?</li>
  <li>Keep it unpublished and start with a new package name all over again?</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Easiest way would be to delete the published app, but Google says <strong>NO</strong>.</p>
