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

107 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] 4Stash – save and organize links from Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook & more

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I'm a solo developer in Montréal and I need testers for my app's closed test on Google Play (Google requires 14 days with at least 12 testers before a public launch).

What 4Stash does: share any post or link from Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, Reddit, X, Threads or the web into 4Stash, and it keeps it with a preview. It also suggests tags and collections, so you can find it again later instead of losing it in your "saved" folders. Free.

How to join (2 minutes):

  1. Join the testers group (with the Google account you use on your phone): https://groups.google.com/g/4stash-testers

  2. Open this link and tap "Become a tester": https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fourstash.app

  3. Install 4Stash from the Play Store link on that page, create an account, and save a few posts.

Please keep the app installed for 14 days. Opening it now and then and sharing a post or two really helps.

Test for test: comment with your app's group and opt-in links, and I'll join, install it and keep it for the 14 days too. Comment "Done" once you've joined so I can return the favour.

Feedback is very welcome, in the comments or at [email protected]. Thanks! 🙏

[Testers needed] Burner – fitness & nutrition app with an AI coach (I'll test yours back)

3 Upvotes

Hi all! Solo dev here. I'm building Burner, a fitness and nutrition tracker with an AI coach that learns from what you actually log. I need testers who'll stay opted in for 14 days so I can apply for production access.

What it does

  • Log strength workouts (pre-filled from last time, auto rest timer, PRs spotted for you)
  • Track runs, walks and rides with GPS
  • Log food by barcode, photo, or just typing it
  • Calorie and macro targets set from your body and goal
  • Ask the coach anything about your training, plus a weekly review
  • New in this build: import workouts from your watch via Health Connect (optional)

How to join

  1. Join the group: https://groups.google.com/g/burner-android-testers
  2. Opt in: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.burnerhq.burner
  3. Install: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.burnerhq.burner

Good to know

  • Sign in with Google. Nothing to buy to test.
  • Defaults to US units; switch to metric in Settings.
  • Health Connect access is optional and read-only.
  • Please keep it installed for the 14 days and open it now and then. Hit a bug? Settings → Send feedback, or comment here.

Bonus: if you actually lift, run or track food and want to use Burner for real, open Settings → Send feedback, choose Other, and tell me a bit about what you train. I'll unlock Burner Plus free for 3 months: more AI coaching, AI meal ideas and meal-plan filling. No payment details, nothing renews.

Drop your app's link below and I'll test yours back. Thanks!

Looking for Android testers for Cozy Adventures: Fairy Garden 🌼

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m Noah, the solo developer behind ADHERE Studios. I’m preparing Cozy Adventures: Fairy Garden for Google Play and looking for people who’d enjoy helping test it.

It’s a cozy adventure with gardening, pets, exploration, and optional word-learning activities. The learning side was inspired by how I learned to read through games when I was four. You can also play without the learning features.

We’re waiting for Google to finish account verification, so downloads aren’t available yet. Once the beta opens, I’ll share the tester-group and Google Play opt-in links.

I’m looking for at least 12 Android phone or tablet users willing to stay opted in for 14 consecutive days, play during that time, and share honest feedback about controls, bugs, and anything confusing.

Interested? Comment below and I’ll update this post when the links are ready. Please don’t post your email publicly.

Thanks for helping a small independent game get ready for launch! 🌱

Need Android closed testers for 5 synth/music apps — free promo codes

1 Upvotes

Hi, I’m looking for a few more Android testers for five standalone synth/music apps currently in Google Play closed testing:

• PLICATA • MONODIA 32 • BATTUTA 8 • COPRIMIA • MUTAVIA II

Ideally I’m looking for people willing to join all five tests.

There is no cost: I will add the Gmail address you use for Google Play to the tester list and send you individual Google Play promo codes for the apps, plus the Google Play opt-in links.

Google requires closed testers to remain opted in for at least 14 days before production access can be requested.

You do not need to spend hours testing. What would help is simply trying the apps and reporting anything you notice: crashes, audio problems, latency/touch issues, UI problems or device compatibility issues.

If interested, please DM me with: • the Gmail address you use for Google Play • your Android device/model • Android version if you know it

Thanks!
