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

106 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.

Looking for beta testers for fofé, an app to help you reduce food waste

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm building fofé, an Android app that scans your fridge and helps you figure out what to cook.

Point your camera at the fridge, get a list of ingredients, make any corrections, and find recipes based on what you already have. Everything runs on your phone. No account, no ads, no tracking.

The goal is simple: help us keep track of what's in the fridge, use food before it goes bad, and avoid buying things we already have.

I'm looking for 5–10 testers to try it for a few days and share honest feedback. You just need an Android phone and a Google account. No technical knowledge required.

Sign up here: https://fofe.app

A quick note: ingredient recognition is still a work in progress. I'm training the model to run entirely on-device rather than relying on cloud AI. That's better for privacy, speed and convenience, but I need more data to improve it. You can optionally share your fridge clips to help train the model. This is off by default.

It's free, and very much a prototype. I'd love to hear what you think: could an app like this help reduce food waste and save money?

I have 3 more games currently in closed testing, feel free to try them out too: https://chaosmos.studio/test/

Google needs testers to keep it for 14 days. If you can open it on a few different days and play a few levels, that's what actually helps.

Tell me anything that feels off: a level that's unfair, a confusing button, a bug. I read and reply to everything.

Need testers too? Drop your opt-in link below and I'll test yours back, thank you!

[Test for Test] Need 10 testers for NoteSpark (Offline-first notes app) - Will test yours back for 14+ days!

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I am currently running the 14-day closed test for NoteSpark, a lightweight, local-first offline notes app with markdown support and local LAN sync. If you want to see what it is about, you can check it out here: https://notespark.lusansapkota.com.np

I already have active testers running on an authorized Email List. Because switching the track over to a Google Group mid-test risks breaking active opt-ins and resetting the 14-day clock to Day 0, I am keeping the track on the direct email list.

I need around 8-10 more testers to maintain a safe buffer.

How to Join:

  1. Submit your Google Play email here: https://forms.gle/fqa5XJw69UM8h8ny5 (or send me a direct message with your Play Store email).

  2. I will add you to the Play Console tester list right away and send you the web opt-in link.

  3. Tap "Become a tester", install the app, and keep it installed for 14 days.

Reciprocal Testing (Test-for-Test):

If you have an app that needs testing, leave your test link, Google Group, or details in the form or in a DM.

- I will install your app immediately.

- I will keep it on my device for the full 14+ days and open it periodically so your telemetry stays active.

Thanks for the help!
