The closed test·Example run

12 testers. 14 days. Every day counted.

Every tester opens your app and checks in daily. You watch the tiles fill up — Google sees steady, real engagement.

The rule·Since Nov 2023

No closed test, no launch.

Personal developer accounts created after November 13, 2023 must prove real people used their app before they can apply for production access. Most launches stall right here.

Why not just ask friends?

Harder than it looks.

Finding a dozen people is easy. Keeping them active for two weeks is not.

Doing it yourself

  • Chasing 12+ friends to join and stay for 14 days
  • People forget to open the app — engagement looks weak
  • Someone leaves on day 10 and you start over
  • No feedback to show Google in the production questionnaire
  • Weeks of delay before your first real user
The easy way

With CloseBeta

  • Vetted testers with their own Android phones
  • Daily check-ins tracked in your dashboard
  • Extra testers invited to cover drop-outs
  • Bug reports and suggestions collected for you
  • Prepared answers for the production access form
