Since November 2023, Google requires all new personal developer accounts to run a closed test with at least 12 opted-in testers for 14 continuous days before applying for Production Access. CloseTesting solves this by matching developers with verified human testers using physical Android hardware across major brands (Samsung, Xiaomi, OnePlus, Google Pixel, RealMe). --- ## 2.
