gplay testers set
Replace the authorized audience of --track with the Google Groups passed to --group. testers set is declarative: it replaces the WHOLE list (it maps 1:1 to testers.update — there is no add/remove). The testers resource exposes only Google Groups; individual tester emails are not supported by the API.
A bare set with neither --group nor --clear is refused (exit 2) so a
forgotten --group can never silently wipe the list; empty the audience on
purpose with --clear. There is no --confirm: a closed test track is
low-stakes and reversible.
Writes inside an implicit Edit (open → testers.update → commit). Use --dry-run to validate and preview the payload without any HTTP call, and --keep-edit-on-failure to skip the auto-discard cleanup for debugging.
