What exactly is going on here, how do i direct people to get it downloaded for free, and into my closed testers group?
I have already set google console to accept people from the google group, but so far its directed them to "purchase" the app?
This is my first app and first time dealing with googles highly confusing mess..
Looking for testers.. install my app open it daily, i install yours and do the same. You use my app a few minutes a day, ill do the same for you. We give eachother a nice feedback..We get out of closed testing together :) My app has no data collection, no ads, only needs bluetooth permission. If you want honest opinion on your app, i can do that too..

Install : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jeepwj.wj1850
Send me a chat request, with your gmail and your app links.. and we will get started, lets help each other out.. or email me : desams.38562@gmail.com or just chat here.
Do with that information what you will.
Who else out there has a dashboard running 60 frames a second :)
Looking for 20 or so testers who will simply open my app every day and click around in it for a minute or 2 every day, will do the same for you..
Idealy testers would own a 99-04 jeep grand cherokee and an elm327 bluetooth obd2 adapter, but frankly ive already had a few very good people send me logs and ive made all the changes and adjustments that i needed to do. I just need to get out of the 14 day pugatory and get this thing up for sale that ive spent the last 6 months of my life creating..
At this point ive been in "testing" so long im 40+ builds past the one thats on google play, nearly every bug fixed, layout more geared towards phones "easier to see", even have features in more current builds that arent even in the test version.
I dont need testers to tell me what works or doesnt, i need testers to get me over the hump. Getting 12+ people to use an app every single day on a 25+ year old vehicle is another task completely.
No ads, no data collection of any kind.. the only permissions are bluetooth related. will need a gmail to add to closed testing list, and will need you to join the testers group, ect.. i have 4 updates slated for the test period with minor bug fixes ready to go..
Once Im out of closed testing and in production ill update my screen shots and upload the most up to date version.
Like i said, ill return the favor.. will give honest feedback on whatever you got for me to test.
If you own one of these jeeps, get in here.. you will get to keep the app and future updates :)
Having a hard time seeing responces back from module though, but ..im in :)
Im going to make this section pretty much fill up a phone screen, this is something that cant be too small, itll just have to look a little odd compared to the rest, it going to scale up and look fat on a tablet, but ohwell
First 2 pics are from the app, the rest are a simulated session of left front..
Im trying to put together a coherent user interface, with a back and forth dialog with the app. It tells you what to do, when to do it and gives you a button to click to begin an action and button to click when you complete an action...
Does it make sense? ..can you follow the steps? ..what would you like to see, or change?
Just thought id make another place to toss ideas and maybe learn a few..
This is not an ad, this is not spam, i am not selling anything...

1999-2004 Jeep WJ.
OBD2 diagnostic and module control app.
WJ1850 is a diagnostic and module control application for the 1999–2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ (4.0L and 4.7L gas engines). It connects via an ELM327 Bluetooth OBD2 adapter and communicates with the vehicle over the J1850 VPW PCI bus.
Features:
Live engine data display with gauges and graphs (RPM, speed, coolant, voltage, fuel level, and more)
Dashboard view with passive bus sniffing for real-time data without active polling
Fault code reading and clearing, with built-in reference for 815 WJ-specific DTC definitions
VIN retrieval and module information
Module actuations and status reads across 10 vehicle systems:
Anti-Lock Brakes (CAB)
Body Control Module (BCM)
Driver Door Module
Passenger Door Module
Automatic Temperature Control (ATC)
Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC)
Sentry Key Immobilizer (SKIM)
Transfer Case Control (XCM)
Memory Seat Module (MSM)
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC)
Wheels and Tires tab with individual wheel speed monitoring and tire pressure display
Raw bus tools for advanced users — custom frame composition, command logging, and live bus monitoring, ad-free, no data collection
Known Limitations:
WJ1850 operates exclusively on the J1850 VPW PCI bus. It does not communicate over the SCI bus and therefore cannot perform any functions that require SCI access, including:
PCM (Powertrain Control Module) bidirectional functions, flashing, or proprietary parameter access beyond standard OBD2 Mode 01 PIDs
TCM (Transmission Control Module) direct access, adaptive resets, or solenoid actuations
PCM/TCM-specific live data streams beyond what is exposed through standard OBD2
Standard OBD2 Mode 01 live data (RPM, vehicle speed, coolant temperature, etc.) is fully supported via the PCI bus.
Requirements:
WJ1850 requires an ELM327 Bluetooth adapter that supports the SAE J1850 VPW protocol. Most low-cost generic adapters do not properly support J1850 VPW — a quality adapter is recommended for reliable operation.
Recommended adapter: ELM327 OBD2 V1.5 Bluetooth 4.0 (PIC18F25K80 chipset).
This application is not affiliated with or endorsed by Chrysler, FCA, Stellantis, or Jeep.
Reminder this app is written for 1999-2004 WJ.

Ive tried a few ways, best ive found is light bbq with the blow torch ..ease into it, keep moving, do not stop in one place for any reason, start off far away and get closer while moving from one side to the other. ...think of it as painting with a sray gun, distance and speed is key. Probably not for everyone, but done right looks pretty good and lasts. Careful near the paint, multiple light passes are better than over doing it for obvious reasons.
What have you found that works more than a few car washes?
Someone somewhere must know about these modules.
