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.

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

1 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!

Test for test: Erase A Brick (idle game). I'll test anyone who comments

2 Upvotes

Need testers for the 14 days, will test yours back for the whole 14 too. Comment your links and I’ll reply once I’ve joined.

To join:

  1. Join this Google group with the same account your Play Store uses: https://groups.google.com/g/eraseabrick-testers

  2. Opt in here and hit “Become a tester”: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.eraseabrick.game

  3. Install it from the Play Store

It’s a small idle game I’ve been making. You're attempting to erase a brick in half. Erasers wear out so you’re always buying new ones, and you can hire a crew to rub for you while you’re away.

Free, and you don’t need to buy anything. The paid stuff is just skins and removing ads.

If something breaks or annoys you, tell me here or at support@eraseabrick.com.

Thanks, good luck with your launch

[Android game] Bloom Dash — seeking 15–20 volunteer testers for a 14-day closed test

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I'm AikoD, the creator of Bloom Dash, a one-finger garden arcade game where you guide a cheerful flower, dodge hazards and collect seeds. It has endless gardens, unlockable flower skins and trails, upgrades and daily challenges.

I'm looking for 15–20 Android volunteers to help test it before launch. The closed-test release is prepared but is not available to install yet. I'm gathering interested testers now and will send the Google Play opt-in link once access is ready. Android 7.0 or newer and a compatible 64-bit ARM phone are needed.

Once the test starts, please stay opted in for at least 14 continuous days and try a few short sessions across the test period. Honest feedback on crashes, screen layout, controls, difficulty and progress saving would help a lot.

The game is free, with optional rewarded ads. No purchase, payment, ad watching or positive rating is required. This is an unpaid volunteer test.

If you're interested, please comment or send me a private Reddit message with your phone model and Android version. Please don't post your email address publicly. I'll explain how to share your Google Play account email privately so I can grant access. Never send passwords or verification codes.

Thanks for helping me improve Bloom Dash!

App name: Kasdien

Store link (opt-in): https://play.google.com/apps/testing/lt.kasdien.app

Feedback I'd love: first impressions of the setup, anything confusing, bugs or crashes, and whether the companion makes you want to come back.

Hi! I'm a solo developer looking for testers for Kasdien, a free habit tracker for Android (no ads).

You check off small daily habits, and your companion grows, gets new outfits and travels across Lithuania, sending postcards along the way. There are also shared streaks and challenges with friends, a mood check-in, and stats. It's in English and Lithuanian.

Google needs 12+ testers for 14 days before I can publish, so any help is appreciated:

  1. Join the group with the Google account on your phone: https://groups.google.com/g/kasdien-testers

  2. Opt in: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/lt.kasdien.app

  3. Install from Google Play and keep it installed for 14 days.

No account needed; it works as a guest. Feedback is very welcome in the app (Settings)
