12 beta testers for your Google Play closed test
Google Play asks new developers to run a closed test with at least 12 testers for 14 days before production access. We provide the testers, so you can finish the requirement and publish your Android app.

The Google Play 12-tester requirement
New personal developer accounts must complete closed testing before applying for production access. The test needs at least 12 testers who stay opted in for 14 continuous days.
Finding 12 people who will install an unfinished app and keep it installed is the hard part. Friends drop out, the 14-day clock resets, and the launch slips. A dedicated group of closed testing testers removes that risk.
How it works
Send your opt-in link
Create a closed testing track in Play Console and send us the tester opt-in link.
Testers join and install
12 testers opt in and install your app from Google Play on their own Android devices.
Stay for 14 days
They keep the app installed and opted in for the full 14 days, so the requirement is met.
Apply for production
When the 14 days end, apply for production access in Play Console and launch.
