We run automation smoke tests on production apk on periodic basis via Appium Tool. But we observed that this impact the Users Statistics provided as "Android-Vitals" on Play Store such as "User Lost". This is because, developers keep installing/uninstalling the app and this happens in appium automation too.

I generally don't prefer to make separate apk for testing, unless if no other solution exists.

So I want to know the possible ways to prevent Play Store statistics data from getting skewed due to development activities.

You could try disabling data sharing to google per "View app statistics"

Quote from the link : "Some metrics are calculated based on data from users who have agreed to share their data with developers in aggregate."

To do that :

  1. Open your device's Settings app.
  2. Tap Google And then More (three vertical dots) And then Usage & diagnostics.
  3. Turn Usage & diagnostics off.

Per : "Share usage & diagnostics information with Google"
