Google Play Console warning you need to add physical address in account details

Question

Each time I upload a new release, in the Google play console I get this warning that says "You need to add physical address in account details" , I do not understand where I should add this physical address.

Can someone tell me where I should add this address in order to get rid of this warning?

Answer 1

You should look here, Console/Settings/Developer Account/Account Details

Upldate:

currently it's in Google Play Console -> Developer Page

Update: April 2024

Neither of the sections described in this answer exists any longer in Google Play Console.

This answer is invalid for current console.

Since this is marked as correct, it would be great to have a link to an answer for 2024 - as it remains, this does seem simply like a long-standing bug in the console or google's back end as there's no way to remove the warning and no where to put a physical address. – Comma

Answer 2

From the page above you should click "All apps menu"

Then you can see "Settings Menu" under settings, click developer account and then under developer account you will see Developer Page

EDIT: April 2024

This information is no longer correct. Google Play Console has changed, and the referenced sections of the console are not here any more (moved and reorganized).

The only relevant, current info I can find anywhere is this:

Answer 3

Looks like they changed it again. It's now directly under Developer Page in the console. I guess I'm not the only one that looked under "Account details" since there's an address field there and the warning message explicitly mentions account details.

Why they can't just link it directly from the warning message beats me. Maybe we don't have the technology for it yet🤔

I do not see Developer Page as an option. Based on research, this only appears after publishing a release. Thus, if this is the correct place to enter it then you can't fix the warning until after publishing, which is crap since it's an error about trying to publish... – Alyosha

Answer 4

I've been solving this riddle today (Jun 2024) and both address sections are now at the top level in the top-level menu (Account Details and Developer page):

For completeness my account was registered around 2015 but I've checked my other account, registered in 2023 and it shows these options in the same place.

Answer 5

here's a recent (2024-06-17) reply from Google support: Google support reply

[...]

1. Open Play Console.
2. Go to Developer page.
3. Next to the Physical address, type your valid address where you may be contacted. Note that this will be displayed on Google Play.
4. Save your changes.

[...]

...which does not work! (For starters, there is no "Developer page")

It appears only after publishing a release. – Hemicycle

Answer 6

It has changed a bit. Plus even though I have a physical address inserted, I still get the error.

This is a place to enter an address, but it is not the place to enter an address to fix the error. I have a full address entered here, and still get the error. This is not a solution. – Alyosha

Hi Bill. Sorry to hear that. Can you give upload some screenshots Features are constantly changing at Google lately. Even I am getting frustrated with Google. I'm looking at alternatives to google, I haven't used any of them yet, but I do intend to. Alternatives include: Amazon App Store, Aptoide and many others, just google alternative to google. I am just as frustrated with google as you are. – Chancroid

Jame - not saying the screenshots are wrong. Saying “I have an address here, and so this is not the source of the error for me.” I have been unable to eliminate the error, and have found a thread elsewhere indicating this might be a problem with google’s backend (the existence of the error). – Alyosha
