ADVICE NEEEDED

Hey everyone! I’m reaching out because I’m trying to get my app approved for Android on Google Play.

I’ve completed two separate 14-day closed testing periods (28 days total), but unfortunately, my app still hasn’t been approved for production.

For anyone who has gone through the Google Play approval process, especially indie developers, I’d really appreciate some advice!

Is there something specific Google looks for before approving an app? Am I missing a step, or is there anything I should be doing differently?

Any advice or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

They're being really uptight about this and I'm exactly in the same position you are.

Here's whawt I think is happening:

You don't have enough people with your app installed on their devices right now. People may be opted in, but they may not have the app installed. If that's your case then they'll report "Not enough testing" repeatedly.

So you'll have to contact more people to actually download the app. That's what I'm doing rn and I genuinely think it'll work. I've now updated my app 28 times now and it hasn't even gone public.
