"New Android developers now need to test their app with at least 20 people for a minimum of two weeks before publishing on the Play Store."

I concur :joy:
And still be ready for a hotfix :smiley:

How did independent app developers find 20 testers within a 2-week frame?

It may unleash the opportunity for manual QA/testing agencies in underdeveloped countries I guess. Seeing the positive side

This is why alternate stores like Fdroid are popular. None of these stupid guidelines and freedom to develop apps

<@U05V337T9E3> I don’t know, I can’t publish my app on F-Droid because it’s not open source. So there goes the freedom. :smile:
