The 12-tester, 14-day closed test
For a personal Play account created after 13 November 2023, production access generally requires at least 12 testers opted-in to closed testing for 14 continuous days.
What this is not
Internal testing does not replace that closed-test task. Open testing, in Google's description, comes after you already have production access. Passing the test is not passing review. Organization accounts and older personal accounts are generally outside the rule. Read the task on this Console.
What Guyi does not include
Buying the account does not include running the test for you. The count, the days, and whether production was already requested are whatever the Console shows.
Questions
Can open testing fill the 14 days?
Do not treat the three tracks as substitutes. Follow the task the Console marks as required.
Does a passed test mean the app is approved?
No. The test is access to apply for production. Review is separate.
