App testing requirements for new personal developer accounts, a minimum of 20 testers

105 Upvotes

There should be a few posts like this with the keywords, so that the new developers can find this Reddit on the Google easier and know where to find testers for testers.

This post here is only for Google SEO purpose.

In this sub r/AndroidClosedTesting you can find the people who can provide testing for testing, in order to pass your Google Play Console 20 testers policy.

Google Play is rolling out new testing requirements for developers with personal accounts created after November 13, 2023. These changes aim to enhance the app development process, encourage thorough testing, and ultimately deliver higher quality experiences to users. These requirements and the various testing tracks available on Play Console.

Developers with personal accounts created post-November 13, 2023, must adhere to new testing requirements. Before apps are eligible for distribution on Google Play, a closed test with a minimum of 20 testers is mandatory. These testers must have opted-in for the last 14 days continuously. Features like production and pre-registration in Play Console will remain disabled until these requirements are met. Applying for production access involves answering questions about the app, its testing process, and production readiness, ensuring a comprehensive understanding.

Play Console offers distinct testing tracks to facilitate a gradual testing process. Internal testing enables quick distribution to trusted testers during app setup. Closed testing, a prerequisite for production access, involves sharing the app with a controlled group of at least 20 testers. Open testing allows the app's test version to be visible on Google Play, with users providing private feedback. Developers must complete a closed test meeting specific criteria before applying for production access.

Mutual commitment

2 Upvotes

Guys,

To count towards the closed testing phase on play, it's not enough to just join the testing group and download the app. There needs to be some commitment — like opening the app at least once a day, preferably interacting with reviews and/or suggestions. I'm looking for people who, like me, maintain and interact with the app they've committed to. I'd prefer that you don't commit to me if you aren't reciprocally diligent the way I am. I have a list of apps I've committed to and I open them at least once a day, in many cases even more than that. I even created a folder just for these apps, so I genuinely fulfill what I promise... Below are my app links — if you're not committed, I'd prefer

👉 Join the testers group here: https://groups.google.com/g/driving-theory-testers

👉 Then install the app here: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.sevendays.irishtheorytest

Hi everyone 👋

I’m looking for real Android testers for my app Español b’Darija, which helps Darija speakers learn practical Spanish.

Google Play asked me to run an additional closed-testing period, so I’m looking for people who can actually install and try the app — not just join the test.

How to help:

  1. Join the tester group: https://groups.google.com/g/espanol-bdarija-testers
  2. Join the Google Play closed test: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.espanolbdarija.app
  3. Install the app, try at least one lesson, audio and microphone if possible, and open it again during the next 14 days.

Honest feedback is welcome. No rating or 5-star review needed.

If you also have an Android app in closed testing, send me your links and I can test yours in return. 🤝

​[HELP] Only 2 days left to launch my indie game, but I lost testers! Need 4 people to opt-in so Google doesn't reset my 14-day timer 🙏

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m a solo indie developer on the final stretch of launching my mobile game. Everything was set for release in just 2 days, but I hit a massive roadblock with Google Play Console.

Some of my closed testers dropped out today, and my count fell from 14 down to 10 testers. As you know, Google strictly requires at least 12 active testers for 14 continuous days. If I don't fill these spots immediately, Google might reject my submission or force me to restart the entire 14-day countdown from scratch.

I’ve spent months building and polishing this game, and seeing it delayed over 2-3 missing emails is heartbreaking.

How you can help (it only takes 1 minute):

Join the Google Group: https://groups.google.com/g/red-glow-testers

Click "Become a Tester" / Web Opt-in Link: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.redglow.endlessvoid

Join on Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.redglow.endlessvoid

I don't need fancy feedback or reviews—just your opt-in so I can hit the minimum tester quota and finally get this game published on October 24th!

I will be forever grateful, and I'm more than happy to test your games in return!

Thank you so much for saving an indie dev's dream!
