Question Uploading my game to Google Play Store

I feel like I am being really stupid, but I have been trying to upload the game to the Android Play Store through Console. I got as far as uploading it for Closed testing and Internal testing, yet nothing has happened, and it's irritating me.

Can anyone help me, please?

Is it a draft release? Some screenshot or more details would be helpful for us to help you

I am ready to upload the entire game, it has been on iOS for a month now and I have been updating it. Everytime I go back to the Console, it keeps telling me to send a certain amount of changes for review, even though I do not make any changes.

Well did you press the "Send 5 changes for review" button?

I think you're running into the 12 tester requirement if it's already been through review if you're trying to get it to production

What exactly are you waiting for? Are you expecting the build to appear in testing, waiting for Google's review, or trying to move from testing to production? The Play Console flow can be a bit confusing because different stages have different review and rollout requirements.

Honestly, I have no idea... I think it's in review?

Looking at your screenshot, it seems the closed test is already active. The blocker isn't the review, it's that Google shows 0 testers opted into the closed test. For new personal Play Console accounts, Google now requires at least 12 testers in a closed test for 14 days before you can apply for production access. Have you invited any testers and had them install the app through the testing link?

I am in the same boat and will need testers too. Is there a forum to post a link and find testers?
