How do I Build & Run Android game as a specific Google Account?

Question

I have 2 accounts tied to my device, one is my primary personal account, and another is a test account. (Neither of these are my Developer account)

When I use the Build & Run function in Unity to upload the game to my Phone, it seems to tie itself to my test account rather than my personal account, so when I try to make an in-app purchase it wants to use the payment details of the test account not my personal account.

How do I make it so it installs using my personal account so I can purchase the IAP on my personal account instead?

Well to answer my own question I ended up just installing the game via the Play Store w$$anonymous$$le making sure I was using my personal account, and then using the Build & Run functionality of Unity to push the version of the game I'm working on.

Now of course t$$anonymous$$s only worked for me because I happened to have uploaded an earlier version of the game to the Play Store. I am not sure how I would get around t$$anonymous$$s if I didn't have t$$anonymous$$s. I suppose if I remove my other account and then Build & Run again then it would work, but that's not really pretty

Your answer just proved my point. Nothing to do with Unity configuration!

@pako Again I am having this problem because I am using Build & Run. I would not be having this problem if I was Only installing the game via the Play Store or the App Store. I do see what you mean though, I'm guessing you're saying since it can't be configured via Unity it is not a Unity question - well this would be the answer I was looking for. If something can't be done in Unity it's still related to Unity.

Anyway, let's call it difference of opinion and leave it at that.

Not difference of opinion. Not a Unity question. Running your app from the Play Store or developer console really have nothing to do with the Build and Run feature.

If you really want to know the answer to your question work through the tutorials in the first pages of the Google Dev site.

Running the App through Build and Run doesn't actually give you an idea of what its like obtaining it through Play as the two operation are just not related.

Your personal account is not tied to Unity but is simply what is entered in to the phone. If you wish to use different details on your phone, Add them in to the Google+ app (Red icon) on your device and select that account.
