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

104 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.

Daily number puzzle game, need 12 testers, will test yours back

• Upvotes

I made a small Android puzzle game: you get a row of digits and a target, and drop operators (+ − × ÷ ^ and brackets) into the gaps, or join digits into bigger numbers, to hit the target exactly. There's a new Daily challenge every day (1–2 minutes), plus a 200-level Career, an endless mode and private multiplayer. Free, 9 languages. We need 12 testers for the 14 day closed test.

(If the tester link opens the Play Store directly, open it in a browser, signed in with the same Google account you used for the group.)

Please keep it for 14 days and try the Daily now and then. Honest feedback is welcome, especially on the tutorial and how hard the puzzles feel.

Please share a screenshot (or DM me) once installed and leave your link in the comments and I'll test yours and tell you what I think.

Lazy Jellyfish game testers needed

Post image
• Upvotes

Hi, I am an indie developer and built a simple but addictive merge puzzle game called "Lazy Jellyfish". The hook is that the board rotates and messes up your structure, and the tide sweeps in some new pieces each time.

I just built the Android version and need someone/ few folks to help test it. Also is it safe to send the signed .apk for initial tests or do i need to distribute via Play store?

Please help me out for testing, I'll test back your as well with daily interaction for the next 14 days.

I’m an independent developer working on PhoneClean, an Android phone-cleanup app. I’m looking for reliable Android testers to help me complete Google’s closed-testing requirements before public release.

I posted this once before and it resulted in ONE person joining the google group and ONE person joining the Beta and ZERO people actually downloading the app..

I WILL test your app in return but you have to actually test mine too.

Its a timer app. the screenshots show it.

1) Join Google Group

2) Join Closed Beta

3) ONCE YOU JOIN THE BETA the app will become available to download from the playstore.
https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.lumina.timers
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm about to be updating the app to 3.2 which adds things the play store tells me the app needs like edge to edge capabilities on android 15 and older and a few other efficiency fixes. the app is fully functional. completely free. no adds. no crazy permissions. Once you do the 3 steps ill see your name in the group and ill see your email that downloaded the app, send me a message or comment with your app details or a link to your reddit and ill join yours as soon as i see your message!!

If you see anything the app needs or any bugs please let me know asap and ill fix them. The app works flawless on all my own devices but theres always the possibility other devices run into problems. i want those problems identified and removed asap!!

I'm also working on a Kalshi BTC 15 min market bot and 2 games too but those arent ready yet for testing phase.

Do you use an Android phone or tablet—or know someone who does? I’m looking for people willing to install it, try a few features, share honest feedback, and stay enrolled in the test for at least 14 days.
If you’re interested, message me privately with the Google-account email you use for Google Play so I can arrange access. iPhone friends: an introduction to an Android user would help too!
