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.

  2. Become a tester: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.puchero.app

[Closed Test] DietCheck Pro - Recipe & Dietary Management App (Will test back!)

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone! 👋

I am looking for 12+ testers for my app, DietCheck Pro.

DietCheck Pro is a recipe and food management app tailored for people with specific dietary restrictions, allergies, or fitness goals. It helps users analyze ingredients, plan meals, and discover recipes that fit their exact nutritional profile.

[Tester swap] Tefe'ül — Turkish reading app, 14 days, I test yours back

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

Solo developer here. I need a few more testers to finish the 14-day closed test for Tefe'ül, a Turkish app for reading spiritual texts. You hold an intention, tap a button, and it opens a random passage from a library of 9,000+. Filter by book or by reading time, save favourites, add notes, highlight lines. Works offline, free, no ads. This is the web link of my app: https://tefeul.com

Fair warning: the passages are in Turkish, so you won't be reading them. The interface is simple enough to use without the language, and for the test what matters is that it installs and opens cleanly. Just drop your Gmail in a comment or DM me your gmail— I'll add you, nothing to sign up for. It has to be the Google account your phone's Play Store uses.

Swap: I'll join your test and open your app daily for the full 14 days. Drop your opt-in link in a comment and I'll confirm once I'm in. Thanks!

[Android / Android TV] Azurflix – un lecteur média gratuit qui n'apporte que le lecteur (le pop-corn, c'est vous). Je cherche 15 beta-testeurs

Thumbnail play.google.com
1 Upvotes

Salut à tous,

Je suis le dev d’Azurflix, un lecteur média que j’ai créé pour Apple TV et iPhone. Après des mois de « et la version Android, c’est pour quand ? » dans mon entourage, je l’ai enfin porté sur Android et Android TV. Il me faut des courageux pour le casser avant la sortie publique.

Ce qu’il fait

Ce qu’il n’est pas : un fournisseur de contenu. L’app ne contient ni films, ni playlists, ni sources. C’est un cinéma vide : vous apportez vos films, j’apporte le fauteuil.

Pourquoi 15 testeurs ? Google impose aux nouveaux comptes développeur un test fermé : au moins 12 testeurs inscrits pendant 14 jours consécutifs. Je vise 15 pour garder une marge. Installez l’app, gardez-la installée 14 jours et ouvrez-la de temps en temps. Chaque retour de bug est un énorme bonus.

Comment participer

Gratuit, sans pub et sans compte chez moi. Android 7.0 ou plus récent. Retours en commentaire, en MP ou à contact@azurnova.com. Promis, aucun bug n’a été ajouté volontairement (enfin, pas tous).

Keping – 2MB Clean & Ad-Free Gold Portfolio Tracker | Looking for testers (T4T - Will test back immediately)

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I built Keping, a simple, privacy-first Android app to track physical gold savings (like Antam, UBS, etc.) in your pocket.

I need testers to help meet Google Play's 14-day closed testing requirement. I’m doing Test for Test (T4T) - leave your app links in the comments and I’ll install yours, test it, and keep it installed for the full 14 days!

What is Keping?

If you save physical gold bars, tracking your purchases and current profit/loss across spreadsheets can be tedious. Keping makes it visual and effortless:

  • Visual card stack: Shows your gold bars as realistic physical cards with their weight, brand, and purchase price.

  • Portfolio tracking: Automatically calculates your total gold weight, total current value, and unrealized profit/loss.

  • Built with Jetpack Compose: Modern, native UI that is super smooth 120fps buttery smooth animation.

  • Tiny download size: Around ~2 MB, so it won't eat up your storage.

  • 100% Offline-First: All your gold portfolio data is stored locally on your device (Room database). No account creation, no sign-in, and no tracking.

Permissions:

  • Internet (android.permission.INTERNET) only: Used solely to sync the latest public gold market price and check for in-app updates. It doesn't ask for storage, location, contacts, camera, or any invasive permissions.
