Documentation refers to deprecated “Play Console API Settings / API Access” page#4

The setup instructions in the README appear to reference an outdated Play Console flow.

Specifically step 3:

Grant access in Play Console API Settings

The "API Access / Play Console API Settings” page no longer exists in the current Google Play Console UI. Google has deprecated this flow.

Current Play Console setup requires inviting the service account email through "Users & Permissions" instead.

Updated flow should be:

Create a service account in Google Cloud

Enable Google Play Developer API in Google Cloud

Copy the service account email

Go to Play Console → Users & Permissions

Invite the service account email

Grant required permissions (e.g. Release Manager or Admin) and app access

Because the documentation still references the old API Access page, new users cannot find the step and may think something is misconfigured.

It would be helpful to update the README to reflect the new Play Console UI.

Thanks for the tool!

                          The setup instructions in the README appear to reference an outdated Play Console flow.
                          Specifically step 3:
                          Grant access in Play Console API Settings
                          The "API Access / Play Console API Settings” page no longer exists in the current Google Play Console UI. Google has deprecated this flow.
                          Current Play Console setup requires inviting the service account email through "Users & Permissions" instead.
                          Updated flow should be:
                          Create a service account in Google Cloud
                          Enable Google Play Developer API in Google Cloud
                          Copy the service account email
                          Go to Play Console → Users & Permissions
                          Invite the service account email
                          Grant required permissions (e.g. Release Manager or Admin) and app access
                          Because the documentation still references the old API Access page, new users cannot find the step and may think something is misconfigured.
                          It would be helpful to update the README to reflect the new Play Console UI.
                          Thanks for the tool!
