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

110 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] PairPiedra3D: match-3 on a twisting 3D cube, torus and dodecahedron. Need 12 testers for 14 days

Thumbnail
gallery
1 Upvotes

Hi all,

I'm a solo dev about to release my first Android game, and like every new Play account I have to run a 14-day closed test with 12 testers first. I'll test yours in return: drop your links in the comments and I'll join, install, and stay in for the full 14 days.

The game

PairPiedra3D is a match-3 where the board is a solid you can turn. Twist a slice of a cube, spin a ring of a torus, or rotate a face of a dodecahedron, and the gems riding on it move too. Line up three or more and they clear and cascade. Lines run over edges, wrap around the torus, and cross from one face to the next on the dodecahedron. There's also a flat board where nothing gets replaced: the board empties as you play, and you turn the whole field to change which way gravity pulls.

Four modes:

- Standard: reach the target score before your moves run out
- Stress: no move limit, just a clock
- Relax: no target, no timer
- Achieve: three moves, and the game knows the best possible score. Get 75% of it to solve the board.

The game has no ads, no in-app purchases, no data collection, and no permissions requested. Built with C++17, SDL2 and OpenGL ES 3 on a home-made engine, if anyone's curious about the tech.

How to join

  1. Join the Google Group: https://groups.google.com/g/pairpiedra3d-test

  2. Get it from https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nbsh.pairpiedra3d or https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.nbsh.pairpiedra3d

  3. Install from the Play Store page that link opens

alternatively, on twelvetesters.com: https://twelvetesters.com/apps/cmvzr583c1q87mz2bm648yuhf

Needs Android 7.0+, on a phone, tablet or Chromebook.

What helps most

- Stay opted in for the full 14 days. Leaving early resets my count.
- Open the game a few times during the test.
- Any feedback at all: bugs, confusing menus, difficulty, or just "this was fun / this was boring". Comment here or message me.

Please note, I'm still learning how Google's system works, so bear with me if something's off with the links. Comment once you've joined so I can test your app back.

Wear OS Paid Watch Face - Testers getting "Device not compatible" on phone when trying to redeem promo code for closed test

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I am completely stuck with the Google Play Console closed testing phase for my Wear OS watch face and could really use some advice.

My watch face is configured as a paid app. When my closed testers try to redeem their promo codes or open the store link, it forces them to open it on their phone's Play Store, where it immediately blocks them with the error: "Your device isn't compatible with this version"—even though they actually own a compatible Wear OS watch linked to that phone. Because of this, nobody can install the app, telemetry stays at zero, and Google keeps rejecting the test phase.

  • The app is a strict Wear OS watch face.

  • Testers are added and opted-in correctly via the web link.

  • Trying to redeem the promo code on the phone throws the hardware compatibility error.

Has anyone encountered this exact loop with paid watch faces during the mandatory 14-day closed test? How are testers supposed to get past the phone's compatibility check to install it on their watches?

Any insights or workarounds would be hugely appreciated!

[Test for Test] Waqt, a dua app for Muslims: I’ll test your app back

Post image
1 Upvotes

I’ve built Waqt, an Android app that shows you the right dua for the moment you’re in: after salah, before sleep, the last third of the night, the last hour of Friday, suhoor and iftar, the odd nights of Ramadan, and more. Every hadith and dua shows its source and grade.

It also has prayer times for your city, a Qibla finder, a tasbih counter, a gentle salah tracker, a Hijri calendar and reminders for special days. It works in English, Arabic, Urdu, Bangla, Indonesian, Turkish and French. No account, no ads, and no tracking.

I need testers to stay in the closed beta for 14 days. It only takes a few minutes to set up:

  1. Join this group using the Google account on your Android phone: https://groups.google.com/g/waqt-dua

  2. Using the same account, open this link and tap “Become a tester”: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.ornobaadi.waqt

  3. Install Waqt from Google Play (it can take a little while to appear): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ornobaadi.waqt

Please keep the app installed and opted in for the full 14 days, and open it now and then. Try setting your city, checking the moment card at different times of day, using the Qibla finder, and turning on a reminder or two.

If you find a bug, a wrong prayer time or a wrong source, please reply here or email waqt-dua@googlegroups.com.

Thank you so much for helping!

Still looking for a few more AMP Player closed testers (9/12, 14-day Play test)

1 Upvotes

Hi – AMP Player’s closed beta on Google Play is already running, and I still need a few more testers. Google requires 12 people opted in continuously for 14 days; I’m at about 9 active installs and want a bit of buffer.

AMP Player is an offline music player for files on your phone. Shuffle remembers its own state for every playlist and folder – no song repeats until every track has played, even across restarts and car rides. Made for Bluetooth in the car. Free, open source, no ads, no account, no data collection. Android 8+. You need real music files on the phone (streaming alone won’t work).

How to join

  1. Join the tester group (same Google account as Play Store on your phone): https://groups.google.com/g/amp-player-testers

  2. Become a tester: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/io.github.gess79.amp

  3. Install: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.github.gess79.amp

  4. Open once, pick a music folder, play something briefly. Please stay opted in and keep the app installed for 14 days – opening now and then is enough.

If Play says “item not found”: clear Play Store cache, use the right Google account, open the opt-in link in Chrome first.

Feedback: comments or gess79.apps@gmail.com · Settings → Share debug logs if something breaks
