New personal developer accounts must run a closed test with at least 12 testers for 14 days in a row. 14 to 20 of our real Android phones join your test and use your app every day — you just watch the progress. Any bug they hit is emailed to you right away.

Since November 2023, Google requires personal developer accounts to run a closed test with at least 12 testers who stay opted in for 14 days in a row before the app can go to production. Finding 12 people who keep an app installed for two weeks is the hard part — one drop-out and the count starts over.
How it works
You stay in full control of your Play Console. We never ask for your password.
In Play Console, add our Google Group [email protected] to your closed testing track and send the change for review.
Paste your closed testing opt-in link, add a test account if your app needs a login, and pay by card or PayPal.
14 to 20 real Android phones, depending on your plan, opt in, install your app from Google Play and use it every single day. Follow it live on your dashboard. Any bug they hit is emailed to you right away.
After 14 days, apply for production access in Play Console. We give you a report and tips for Google's questions.
Everything included
Real devices, real daily engagement and a clear record of everything that happened.
Every tester is a physical Android phone signed in with its own Google account. No emulators, no shared accounts.
Each phone opens your app and goes through real flows every day, so Google sees steady engagement for all 14 days.
See which day you are on, how many testers are installed and what happened on each day.
Crashes, freezes and broken screens are emailed to you right away; the phone model, Android version and screenshot are one click away.
Every plan has more phones than the 12 required. If one has a problem, a spare keeps your count above 12 and your 14 days running.
We only need your opt-in link. No Play Console access, no passwords, no changes to your listing.
Bug alerts by email
No need to check the dashboard every day. As soon as a tester logs a bug, you get an email saying what broke and how to reproduce it, so you can fix it while your closed test is still running.
Free when your test ends
After 14 days, Google asks you to describe your closed test before granting production access. Vague answers are a common reason apps are told to keep testing. We write yours for free, for every app that finishes.
Our device farm
Your app runs on a mix of brands, screen sizes and Android versions — the same variety your users have. Layout bugs and crashes on older phones show up before your launch, not after.
