Google Play now requires new personal developer accounts to have 12 testers opted in to a closed test for 14 days in a row before going to production. I'm at 7 and need about 5 more real people.</p> <p><strong>How to join (about 2 minutes, free):</strong></p> <ol> <li>Join the public Google Group with the same Google account you use on your phone: <a href="https://groups.google.com/g/melfi-play-testers" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://groups.google.com/g/melfi-play-testers</a> </li> <li>Opt in: <a href="https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.m3lfi.app" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.m3lfi.app</a> </li> <li>Install from Google Play, open it a few times over the next 14 days and stay opted in.</li> </ol> <p>Any feedback, bugs or ideas are very welcome at <a href="mailto:support@m3lfi.com">support@m3lfi.com</a> or in the comments.
