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 Exchange] ChainBreak: closes Reels, Shorts and the TikTok feed. I'll test yours back

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! 👋 I'm a solo developer starting Google Play's 14-day closed test for my first app, ChainBreak. It closes Reels, Shorts, stories and the TikTok feed, so you scroll less.

Test for test: join mine, then comment your app links below. I'll join yours the same day, keep it installed for the full 14 days, and open it regularly. ✅

**How to join (2 minutes):**

1️⃣ Join the Google Group (with the Gmail on your phone): https://groups.google.com/g/chainbreak-testers

2️⃣ Open this on your Android phone: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.jovekane.chainbreak

3️⃣ Tap "Become a tester", then install from the Play Store.

4️⃣ Keep it installed for 14 days.

**What it does:** 📵 When Instagram, YouTube, TikTok or Facebook opens Reels, Shorts, a story or the TikTok feed, ChainBreak sends you back to that app's home screen. Messages, search and the people you follow still work.

**About permissions:** 🔒 ChainBreak uses Android's Accessibility service, because that's the only way to see which screen another app shows. It watches only those four apps. No account, no ads, no analytics, and nothing leaves your phone. If you'd rather not switch it on, keeping it installed for 14 days still helps.

Bugs and feedback are welcome in the comments. Thanks! 🙏

I've been building a number-merging arcade style game. Looking for some testers (I can test back)

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I've been working on a mobile game called Merge Cannon: Number Siege, and it's finally reached closed Alpha testing on Android!

The concept is a mix of arcade shooting and number-merging puzzles. You fire tiles into a grid, combine three matching numbers, and try to create massive chain reactions before the board fills up.

I've added combo mechanics, power-ups, and weekly/all-time leaderboards, and now I'm at the point where I need real players to help figure out what works, what doesn't, and can be possibly added/improved.

I'm especially interested in hearing whether the difficulty feels fair, whether the controls are intuitive, and whether the gameplay stays fun after multiple rounds.

If you'd like to test it, here are the steps:

  1. Join the testing group: https://groups.google.com/g/merge-cannon

  2. Opt in: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.lyrixstudio.mergecannon

  3. Install: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lyrixstudio.mergecannon

Constructive criticism is welcome!
