'Check if Android app is running on a Google test device?
I recently uploaded an app bundle to Internal App Sharing, and was surprised to see that on my backend, there were 7 new users of this new app version just a few seconds later. I was especially surprised because I am the only person with access to the app on Internal App Sharing, and I hadn't even installed the update yet.
So I guess Google is running something similar to pre-launch testing when uploading to Internal App Sharing. This is annoying, because it fills up my servers user table with irrelevant noise.
Can I detect these devices reliably somehow? I tried detecting the presence of firebase.test.lab in Settings.System, as suggested in this answer, but it didn't work.

As a developer och you can disable tests-reports in Google Play Console. Pre-launch tests, config (or something, I get the UI in Swedish so I currently don't see the English names of them.)
NOTE: I have not tested myself (as I want the testing) and I think they will still do some tests when you want to launch things.
