Built for Google Play Compliance: Meeting the 14-Day Testing Requirement

===============

As an Android developer, you're well aware of the challenges that come with publishing your app on the Google Play Store. With the recent policy change requiring all new personal developer accounts to complete 14 consecutive days of closed testing with at least 12 active testers, many developers are struggling to meet this requirement.

The Problem with Closed Testing

Closed testing is a crucial step in ensuring that your app is stable and functional before releasing it to the public. However, manually managing tester recruitment, tracking daily engagement, and verifying compliance can be time-consuming and tedious. Moreover, it's easy to lose track of progress or fall short of the required 12 testers.

The Solution: App Testers Hub

App Testers Hub is specifically designed to meet Google Play's mandatory testing requirements with ease. With our platform, you can:

  • Automatically track daily engagement and compliance
  • Ensure a minimum of 12 active testers for your closed testing campaign
  • Receive daily verification and compliance documentation
