Update of Google Play docs

[bschmalb]

If you are looking for help, please confirm the following...

• I confirm I have searched the Docs, Codemagic Sample Projects, and GitHub Discussions.
• I confirm the software versions on my local computer match the ones in CI environment (e.g. Xcode version, Gradle version). See here
• I confirm I am able to do a fresh clone of the repository and build the project on my local computer.

Which mobile framework are you using?

Flutter (Dart)

Steps to reproduce

1. Setup Google Play publishing as described in these docs: https://docs.codemagic.io/flutter-publishing/publishing-to-google-play

Expected results

The expected result is that the apps should be published in the Google Play Console.

Actual results

Build completed successfully.
Following submissions will start shortly after App Store Connect completes processing of uploaded artifacts: "What to test" notes, App Store review.
Further logs are available in Post processing section.

Publishing app-prod-release.aab to Google Play
Published app-prod-release.aab to track production

}

Solution/Reason

I already found the reason for this problem, but he docs need to be updated as one step misguides the user in the correct setup and will quickly describe it here:

In step 11 the docs read:

On the Account permissions tab, leave everything as it is. (There is NO need to grant the service account Admin access).

It seems that this is not valid anymore, as the default permission do not allow the service account to Release to production.
The below seen permissions are NOT given by default as described in step 11 of the setup process and need to be manually set.

The first permissions in the Account permissions is needed for the publishing to work. The below ones are optional if you want for the test tracks, testers, and store presence to be enabled as apparent.

Hi @bschmalb, these changes can be done in app level settings instead of account level. We have updated the docs as well.
