From the official press release,

> ... developers with newly created personal Play Console accounts will soon be required to test their apps with at least 20 people for a minimum of two weeks before applying for access to production.

Does this mean that a developer has to recruit 20 users through a special workflow, or the users will simply see that they are 'testers' for a new app?



You add their email addresses to a list of tester accounts, then they have to install the app via the Play Store. So yes, developers need to recruit users (well, Google accounts).


I was about to say…isn’t this really easy to game? Is google checking IDs at the door?
