title: Issue publishing Xamarin Forms Android app as bundle to Play Store - docs out of date
body: <p>I want to publish my Xamarin Forms Android app, as a bundle, to the Play Store for initial testing and I'm following the Xamarin <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/android/deploy-test/publishing/publishing-to-google-play/?tabs=macos" rel="nofollow noreferrer">instructions</a> 'Publishing to Google Play' for Visual Studio for Mac.</p>
  <p>I create a keystore and the next step is to create a Google API project in my Google Play Console (where I had already created my app), to get an OAUTH client ID and secret for Visual Studio to use. Problem is, the Xamarin documentation dated 8 July 2021 is out of date and, despite massive Googling, I'm lost trying to figure out an equivalent in the new Google Play Console layout.</p>
  <p>I reach <em>API Access</em> on the Setup dropdown, and under Linked Google Cloud project I select <em>Create new project</em>. Here the options are to <em>Configure OAUTH consent screen</em> and/or <em>Create new service account</em>.</p>
  <p>I try <em>Configure OAUTH consent screen</em> but the prompts do not seem relevant to a publishing scenario and require Google verification, which seems over the top.</p>
  <p><em>Create new service account</em> appears possibly more relevant and I try that, on the Google Cloud Platform. After creating a new service account, I'm prompted to <em>'Grant this service account access to Google Play Console Developer so that it has permission to complete specific actions on the resources in your project'</em>, which sounds promising.</p>
  <p>The options here are <em>Select a role</em> and <em>Add condition</em>. This is where I have no idea how to proceed further. Am I on the wrong track, or if on the right track, what should I do next?</p>
