Guides / Aged
A personal Play account from before 13 November 2023
That date is used to see whether a personal account falls under the newer closed-test rule. The date has to be readable on the account. Calling it aged is not the check.
What the date does and does not do
Being earlier than that day usually means the new personal-account closed-test task does not apply. The app still has to meet current policy and the target API level. Whether the production track is open is what this Console shows. Passing that exception is not passing review.
Organization accounts
Do not apply this date rule to an organization account by default. Finance, health, VPN, and government apps still need an organization account no matter the year.
Questions
Does earlier than that day mean I can ship production immediately?
It usually means that one new personal-account task does not apply. The Console still decides the track.
Can the seller just say it is old?
No. Point at the creation date on the record.
