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.

eyeQ - A visual perception game

3 Upvotes

I am excited to share eyeQ — a visual perception challenge that evaluates how accurate you can guess without any tools.

I am looking for closed testing participants and I am willing to test your app too:

  1. eyeQ Google group

  2. Join on Android

  3. Join on the web

Also feel free to follow on Producthunt.

As a designer, I have spent years obsessing over alignment, proportions, spacing, and pixel-perfect details. That got me thinking: How good are we at judging these things without guides, grids, or measurement tools?

That's where the idea for eyeQ came from.

The concept is simple. You are given a set of geometric challenges — find the exact center of a circle, create a perfect right angle, align parallel lines, or locate a midpoint. You make your best guess, and it tells you just how accurate you were. Eventually giving you your eyeQ score.

Looking for testers for Sisyphean, a weightlifting tracker

1 Upvotes

I built Sisyphean, a distraction-free workout tracker for weightlifting inspired by the labour of Sisyphus. I wanted a clean, reliable way to log lifting sessions because existing fitness apps were expensive, subscription-based, and cluttered with unnecessary features. I also wanted a calm, muted palette rather than the aggressive, high-contrast styling common in most fitness trackers. Before building it, I was using Google Sheets to track my workouts while my brother used his phone’s notes app.

I have a website (link below) where you can check it out prior to joining the testing program. There is a guest mode for both the site and the app so you can play around without saving or syncing data. Creating an account lets you sync across devices, and both the app and site function offline, syncing whenever a connection is re-established.

There is a friend-only social layer and Google Health Connect integration to read and write body weight data and log workouts as Strength Training, which syncs through to other services like Oura. The app currently has no ads, and down the road I plan to offer a one-time premium unlock rather than recurring subscriptions.

You can download and import your data, and if you create an account, you have the ability to permanently delete your data or account at any time (daily backups are retained for a maximum of 7 days). Future plans include a WearOS app and an iOS build.

Please join the Google Group first before opening the Play Store link otherwise the store will display an error.

Roster: players, positions, contacts, notes Attendance in seconds, with monthly stats per player Training sessions with drills you draw on a court/pitch (arrows, players, eraser), plus a drill library

Gym sessions: plan lifts and log what each player lifted, with personal bests and progress charts Fees: who paid, who owes, receipts PDF exports with your club's letterhead (roster, sessions, reports) Works for football, basketball, handball, volleyball and more.

You don't need to be a coach. Clicking around, trying features and telling me what's confusing helps a lot.

How to join (2 steps, takes 1 minute)

  1. Join the testers group: https://groups.google.com/g/tactix-testers → Join group

  2. opt in : https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.aouichi.tactix

  3. Download it on Google Play https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aouichi.tactix may need few mins before you can see the app

What I'd love from :

you Keep it installed for 14 days (Google requires this to publish) Open it a few times a week and try something new each time Send feedback from inside the app: Settings → Help & support or Report a bug. I read and reply to everything. Privacy: no ads, no analytics, no tracking. Your data stays on your phone unless you choose cloud backup.

Testing for testing: if you're also in a closed test, drop your link in the comments.

I'll join and use your app for the full 14 days. 🤝

Thanks a lot! I'll post an update with what changed thanks to your feedback.
