Answer 1

For testing, Are you generating a debug build or release build? Since you can only upload release build on the playstore, make sure you are testing with a release build in case the problem lies in the release build only.

Also to debug your release build you can add debuggable = true in your manifest to check logs. NOTE: do not upload to play store with debuggable set to true
