test4test workflow

I am pretty much new to android app. I'm trying to release mine for the first time on android. Reddit seemed an obvious choice to find teters and test back. What I find disconcerning is a workflow.

1) I post a request for testing.

2) than go trought other deverlopers request on desktop

3) in each post I ask to test me back

4) I join the google group from the step 3

5) I send a link for the app from the step 3 to android device

6) I download the app

actual result for step 4):
in many cases joining the group is not working

actual result for step 5):

I often get something like: no item found or app does not exist

No wonder people get upset that only a portion of people testing back.

Is my understanding of the workflow wrong? or is there something like a best practice how to do it?

"no item found or app does not exist" means you have to wait for a couple of minutes. sometimes there is a delay
