12 App Testers

how to share your closed testing release with other testers

If you’re running a Closed Testing phase on Google Play, you need to invite 12 testers to meet the new Google Play requirement. Without enough testers actively using your app for 14 days, your Production Access request could be rejected.

In this article, we’ll explain how to share your closed testing release, invite other testers, and ensure your app passes the Google Play 12 testers requirement smoothly.


? Steps to Share Your Closed Testing Release

To allow other testers to access your app in Google Play Closed Testing, follow these steps:

1️⃣ Create a Closed Testing Track in Google Play Console

  1. Go to Google Play Console
  2. Select your app
  3. Navigate to Testing > Closed Testing
  4. Click on Create a new track (or select an existing one)
  5. Upload your app’s APK or AAB file

2️⃣ Add Testers to Your Closed Testing Track

Google Play allows you to add testers in two ways:

✅ Method 1: Share a Testing Link

  1. In Google Play Console, go to Closed Testing
  2. Scroll to How testers join your test
  3. Copy the test invitation link
  4. Share the link with your testers via email, social media, or direct message

✅ Method 2: Manually Add Testers

  1. In Google Play Console, go to Testers
  2. Click on Manage Testers
  3. Add testers using their Google Account emails
  4. Click Save

Testers will receive an email invitation to join the test.

3️⃣ Ensure Testers Install and Use the App

  • Testers must accept the invitation and download the app from Google Play
  • They should actively use the app for 14 days
  • They must provide feedback if required

If testers don’t engage with the app, Google Play might reject your Production Access request.
