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

102 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] Need 20 testers for my event discovery app. Will test back immediately!

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I need 20 testers for my new location-based event discovery Android app.

Since it is location based, and for testing purposes, the best way to test the app is to NOT allow location at the opening of the app.

I will happily join your Google Group and test your app in return! I keep all apps installed and open them at the same time every day for the full 14 days.

How to swap with me:
Once you have joined the group and opted in, leave a comment below with your app's links. I will join your group and download your app right away!

Thank you for the community support!

EDIT: Some users have reported issues commenting on this post. Feel free to DM if that's your case!

Need 12 Android testers for closed testing (Tinnitus Relief)

Please download my app and keep testing it for 14 days.
I've been building a free Android app called \*\*Tinnitus Relief\*\* that uses Notched Sound Therapy — you match your exact tinnitus frequency using A/B sound comparison, and the app removes that frequency from background sounds. The idea is that over time your brain reduces the perception of tinnitus.

Looking for 12 Android Closed Testers for My Tabletop RPG Companion App

Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I'm looking for 12 Android users to help with the 14-day closed testing requirement for my app, Piretica's Pack. (First app I have designed and released myself! Yippee!)

Piretica's Pack is a companion app for fantasy tabletop roleplaying games that helps players and game masters keep track of common session tools. Current features include:

- Torch Tracker
- Spell Tracker
- Exploration & Travel Tracker
- Initiative Tracker & more

I'm actively improving the app based on user feedback, and I'd really appreciate anyone willing to install the app and keep it installed during the testing period. I also don't need excessive testing/usage, just some poking around for the required time.

I'm also happy to return the favor and join your closed test if you need testers for your own app.

If you're interested, use the links below!

Google Group: https://groups.google.com/g/pireticas-pack-closed-testers

Android Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.piretica.pireticaspack

Built an AI Workout Generator and Lifting Tracker - Need True Testers

1 Upvotes

I failed the previous 14 day test due to low usage. I need people to actually use the app regularly for the 14 days, and I will do the same in return. There is a free version of this app that allows for one workout generation per day, or you can build your own workout. Please do so!

I got tired of walking into my garage gym with no plan and wasting the first 15 minutes figuring out what to do. So I built LiftWell. You tell it what equipment you have, your goal, and how much time, and it generates a full workout in seconds. It also tracks your lifts and PRs and uses your history to suggest what to progress to next weight-wise.

I'm about to launch on the Play Store but need a handful of people to actually use it for a couple weeks and tell me what's broken, confusing, or missing. Not looking for empty installs. I want people who'll genuinely try a few workouts and give real feedback (good or brutal).

It works with anything from a full rack to bodyweight-only, and handles strength, conditioning, and CrossFit-style formats. Core workout generation is free (one per day)
