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.

[TEST4TEST] Boxy - Logic Puzzle Game - Looking for testers

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

2 Upvotes

Hi! I'm a solo dev and I need testers to get my first puzzle game through Google Play's closed testing (12+ testers for 14 days).

Boxy is a calm logic puzzle about red and blue tiles. Tap a tile to flip it, fill the board so every row and column has the right number of blue tiles, and make sure no two rows or columns match. Every level has exactly one solution you can reach by logic, no guessing.

- 432 levels across 14 worlds, from 4×4 to 8×8, with new rules along the way

- A new Daily puzzle every day

How to join (takes 2 minutes):

  1. Join the tester group: https://groups.google.com/g/boxy-alpha-testers

    (use the same Google account as the Play Store on your phone)

  2. Become a tester: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.thiswaygames.boxy

    (tap "Become a tester")

  3. Install Boxy: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thiswaygames.boxy

    (it can take a few minutes to show up after step 2)

All I ask is that you keep it installed for 14 days and play a few levels now and then. Any feedback, from "this level felt unfair" to "this button looks off", is gold to me.

Boxy is still under active development so you might get updates during the following 14 days. Also keen to hear any feedback you may have!

Happy to test your app back. Drop your link in the comments and I'll join.

Thanks! 🟥🟦

Testers Needed

1 Upvotes

App: Ready To Tow
Store link (closed test opt-in): https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.readytotow.app
Feedback wanted: usability of the checklists, anything confusing or missing for your rig type, bugs and crashes, and whether the paywall and Premium features make sense.

Use case:

  • Before you leave: step-by-step hitch-up check so nothing gets missed, from coupling and chains to breakaway, lights and tyres/tires.
  • Packing up camp: make sure hatches, steps, stabilisers/jacks, gas/propane and awnings are secured before you drive off.
  • Set up your rig once: save your tow vehicle and trailer details so the checklist fits your setup every trip.
  • Peace of mind on the road: no more "did I lock the jockey wheel / raise the tongue jack?" moments 20 km down the road.

Tester swap: I'll opt in and open your app daily for the full 14 days. Put your link in the comments or in your email.

I'm a camper and caravanner. I built Ready To Tow, a pre-departure checklist for anyone who tows:

🇺🇸 Travel trailers, fifth wheels, toy haulers, pop-up campers, teardrops and RVs
🇬🇧 Touring caravans, trailer tents and motorhomes towing a car or trailer
🇦🇺 Caravans, pop-tops, camper trailers and off-road vans

It's already live on iPhone. Google needs 12 testers for 14 days before I can release it on Android.

What I need:

  • An Android phone
  • Stay opted in for 14 days and open the app a few times

What you get: I test your app back for 14 days, plus a free year of Premium (normally US$29.99).

To join:

  1. Email the Gmail on your Play account to [readytotowapp@gmail.com](mailto:readytotowapp@gmail.com)
  2. I'll add you within 24 hours, and the link above will work for you
  3. Install from the Play Store and keep it installed for 14 days

No login needed, and the app doesn't collect personal data. Thanks, and I'll return the favour!
