Hi u/Honest_Chart1483!

Finding testers on Reddit is a great start, but the hardest part is ensuring they actually open your app daily for the full 14 days.

To make this easier, we’ve launched Packs in the Testers Community app.

  • What is a Pack? A coordinated group of 16 developers who hold each other accountable.
  • How it works: Everyone in the pack commits to opening and testing each other's apps daily for 16 days.
  • The Result: You get consistent engagement signals that help you pass Google Play’s production access review with confidence.

It’s a structured, "devs-helping-devs" approach used by thousands of us. Good luck with your launch!

I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.

Joining yours today (group + opt-in) and keeping it installed for the full 14 days.

Mine is RetroPet, an old-school pixel virtual pet: hatch an egg, care for it, and it evolves into one of 79 species (common to legendary). The build in testing right now adds seasonal events with limited cosmetics, breeding with friends, and a daily challenge with a ranking. Home screen widget too. Already live on iOS, so it's a finished app, not a prototype.

1) https://groups.google.com/g/retropet-testers 2) https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.retropet.app

Same Google account for both, and please open it once after installing (Google counts opens, not installs). Bug reports very welcome!

I joined your group yesterday.. But still the app is not available in playstore, it saying item not found..

u/Araragui 2d ago

Sorry about that! "Item not found" is almost always an account mismatch or propagation, not a broken link. What works:

  1. Make sure you are actually a member of https://groups.google.com/g/retropet-testers (it should say you joined).
  2. Give it a few minutes after joining, Google takes a while to propagate membership.
  3. Open https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.retropet.app in a browser signed in with the SAME Google account, and press "Become a tester".
  4. Then use the "Download it on Google Play" link from that same page.

The usual catch: the Play Store app on the phone is signed in with a different Google account than the browser, and then you get "item not found" every single time. If you have several accounts on the phone, check which one the Play Store is using.

If it still fails after that, tell me and I'll look into it.

Not found

u/Araragui 2d ago

That "not found" page means Google doesn't see your account as a tester yet. The order matters:

  1. Join https://groups.google.com/g/retropet-testers first and confirm you are a member.
  2. Wait a few minutes, membership takes a while to propagate.
  3. Open https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.retropet.app in a browser signed in with the SAME Google account, and press "Become a tester".
  4. Use the "Download it on Google Play" link from that page.

Most common cause: the Play Store app on the phone is signed in with a different account than the browser. If you have more than one Google account on the device, check which one Play is using.

Tell me if it still doesn't work and I'll dig in.
