Select the Develop tab at the top of the page, then, in the upper right hand corner, select the Test button to generate the draft version Test App...

Later in the article in the troubleshooting section there's mention of this program failing to work as expected and instructions to regenerate the testing of the app.

If you say “Ok Google, sync my devices” and get the response “Unable to sync Home Assistant” (or whatever you named your project), this can usually be resolved by going back to your test app in the Actions on Google console and clicking Simulator under TEST. Regenerate the draft version Test App and try asking Google to sync your devices again. If regenerating the draft does not work, go back to the Action section and just hit the enter key for the URL to recreate the Preview.

My question is why do we never go live and deploy the app?

Are there other unintended issues with doing that? To me, it seems like it could be the solution to the app stopping working due to it being in testing for too long.

I only set this up today, so maybe it's not an issue but I did see a long open bug about this not working a month after setting it up.
