Hi everyone,

Like many of you, I was hit hard by Google’s policy requiring independent developers to find **12 testers for 14 days** before publishing any new app.

Asking friends and family to install test versions of apps is awkward, and using random Telegram/Facebook "testers exchange" groups is risky (many users install and delete immediately, or use emulators, causing Google to reject the production access requests).

To fix this, we built **weTestTech**—a platform specifically designed to streamline closed testing loops using real, distinct physical devices globally.

# How it works:

1. **Real Physical Devices:** No bot networks, no emulators. We use clean, distinct physical mobile devices globally to run tests.
2. **100% Policy Compliant:** Testers keep the app installed and active for the consecutive 14-day period as required by Google.
3. **No Overhead Signup:** We kept the platform signup super simple (only name, email, and password). Additional details like UPI for payouts/refunds or phone number confirmation only happen during onboarding.
4. **Developer Dashboard:** Real-time tracking of your testing loops, verification status, and support logs.

We're open-source friendly and looking for feedback. If you're struggling to meet your 20-tester limit for a release, feel free to try it out or drop a comment here.

Would love to hear how you guys are currently tackling this Google policy!
