Google PlayStore Personal Developer Account Closed Testing Policy
Every developer trying to launch an app on Google Play faces the same challenge: the Closed Testing requirement. Since November 2023, Google has mandated that new developer accounts must conduct Closed Testing with at least 12 testers for a minimum of 14 days before launching their app. For indie developers working alone or in small teams, this is a significant burden. You have to ask family, friends, and colleagues, and continuously manage them for the long period of 14 days. You're spending time on tester management when you should be focusing on development.
