Google requires 12 testers running your app for 14 days before personal developer accounts can publish. 12devs is the community where indie Android devs swap real, qualified testing. No fake installs, no farm accounts.
Since November 2023, personal Play Console accounts must complete a closed test with at least 12 testers opted-in continuously for 14 days. No exceptions, no shortcuts - and no, your second Gmail doesn't count.
No black-hat tester farms. No "boost packs". Just real Android developers helping each other clear the Play Store gate while giving each other meaningful feedback.
Publish your app post and watch slots fill from a community of devs who actually want to install, use, and give feedback on your build.
Everyone here is in the same boat. You test mine, I test yours. Karma is tracked so the freeloaders rise to the top of the blocked list.
Every app gets a dedicated thread for bug reports and comments.
See exactly where you are in the 14-day window.
Real accounts, real devices, opt-in flow through your existing closed track. We never touch your Play Console, we just send qualified humans.
No paywall to find testers, no paywall to be one.
Sign up, post your app or join someone else's.
Drop the name, a short description, and your closed-test link. Set your category and which Android versions you care about most.
Up to 12 testers join your slots. In return, you join their apps. Every test counts toward your tester rating.
We track the window. Day 14 hits, all testers still opted in, and you're cleared to push your production release on Play Console.
Whether you're trying to ship your first app or you want to discover indie projects before anyone else.
Stop guilting your cousins into installing your APK. Find real testers who'll actually open the app and tell you why your onboarding sucks.
Test interesting indie Android apps, leave thoughtful feedback, build a reputation and have your own future apps tested in return.
Yes. We don't fake installs, we don't use farms, and we don't touch your Play Console. We're just a directory where real Android developers find each other and opt-in as testers through the standard closed-test flow Google requires.
Join the community of Android devs who refuse to fake their way through the 14-day test.
