    Seems it doesn't just apply to new accounts, but expired developer accounts as well. Had an account from 4 years ago that still had to go through this process and re-pay the 'lifetime' (which is not really lifetime) developer fee. People can bypass these goofy tester requirements by just paying for testers in poor countries anyway...it doesn't ensure high quality or safe apps....people can still publish junk to the store. Seems like this was thought up by some project manager that wanted to tick a box without putting much thought into it and collect their six figure monthly google paycheque...

    So if we summarize this it's no point building Android apps. Even if you manage to find 20 testers and have created something you believe in there's still a risk Google will say meh!

    So it's not only 20 testers, but there's additional loops you have to jump through? Yeeeah... Time to slap together a simple business and get that DUNS number to create a "business" account instead. Probably costs 50€ more but I'd rather pay that than touch this "tester" mess

    The requirement is that each of the 20 testers must have been opted-in continuously for the last 14 days. This means that each tester needs to use the app continuously for 14 days, ensuring they provide feedback consistently over that period. It's not about random usage by different testers, but rather about ensuring sustained engagement from each individual tester over the specified timeframe.

    What does "opt in for 14 continuous calendar days" mean ? I'm a bit lost. - Do they have to open the app every day ? - Do they have to check a button every day ? - Do they just need to not opt out ? Also does it need to be 20 testers at the same time ?

    Yes, they must test the app for at least 20 minutes on two separate occasions every day and each occasion must be separated in time by at least 2 hours. If the first occasion on a particular day takes place later than 10pm local time then the process has failed and they must start over at day 1.
