Play Store - Closed Testing with 20 Testers for 14 Consecutive Days to Publish App

Envato Authors CodeCanyon

Hello Developers,

I’ve just released my first Flutter UI Kit on CodeCanyon! You can find it here: (link removed)

However, there’s a new policy on the Google Play Store for Closed Testing: we now need 20 Testers for 14 Consecutive Days before publishing an app.

The new policy.

Here are a few options to tackle this:

  1. Ask Friends and Family: Difficult, especially for regular uploads.
  2. Pay for Testers via a 3rd Party Service: A viable option with some cost.
  3. Community Support: We could create a group of 40/50 developers willing to download and test each other’s apps for 14 days.

This could be a simple way for all of us to meet Google’s requirements and help each other out. What do you think? Would anyone be interested in joining such a group?

Let’s discuss and see how we can make this work together!

Best regards,
Sameeh.

I think you may be able to find the “group/people” on the Google or elsewhere easily as most of the authors are here “individual” and the other solution would hire a team instead"

This policy is so stupid. Of course I would look for testing services rather than looking for 20 testers. Testing services will be a new business and will most likely provide inappropriate reviews or even just be a fraudulent business and scam. I hope Google revisits this policy soon.
