How to find account owner for Android app in Google Play Developer Console?

Question

This question relates to the Google Play Developer Console.

An account was shared with me over a year ago. When I select this account and click Settings , I see the message:

The developer profile can only be edited by the account owner.

but when I look under Developer Profile > Email address it shows my own address.

Even in the section at the bottom labeled Google Wallet, it states

... The contact email address is my-own-email-address@gmail.com

So my question is, how do I find out which Google account is considered to be the owner ?

If I click the button labeled Help & Feedback > Contact Support , it just takes me to an automated help system with no suitable options.

Answer 1

我建议您搜索您的 Gmail，谷歌确实向您发送了一封包含所有者电子邮件地址的邀请电子邮件，标题类似于“邀请共享 Google Play 开发者控制台帐户”

Answer 2

If you can gain access to the email account specified in the "Email address" field of the Account Details page, search that inbox for emails from "Google Billing (billing-noreply@google.com)"

I found several emails about payments through the Google Wallet Merchant Account associated with the Google Play Developer Console. Those emails contained the email address of the Play account's owner.

Answer 3

Click on "Users and permissions" on the left panel. You will find the main account on the top of the list :

Answer 4

Quite some time has passed since this question was asked and answered. Nowadays, there's another/new option that can help identify the account owner:

1. Open the Google Play Console
2. Go to the Users and permissions section in the left-hand menu
3. Start clicking through the users one by one and pay attention to what is says immediately below the user's name:

For the account owner it will say - unsurprisingly - Account owner . For other users it will show their status (eg Active , Invite expired etc) and a date (when eg access expires, the invitation was sent).
