Please remove the 20 testers requirement, this is very bad for new developers who can't hire anyone or who don't have friends

Please remove the 20 testers requirement, for me i prefere paying 100$ a year like apple and not having to worry about finding 20 tester, not everyone have alot of friends and also convincing them is alot of work

[rafidev]

I've got a feeling like play store is no more place for small indy devs that make casual apps for hobbies or to link their ideas and projects for friends, now we must look for testers, spends more time on research and social media, than coding : (

[taar]

It appears that with each policy update, Google increasingly stifles indie developers and potential innovative ideas from individuals, leaving only large, profit-driven corporations on the app store. These restrictive measures not only exacerbate inequality but also prevent good ideas from becoming a reality.

It's 2024. Why is there no Android application for Android Studio? I should absolutely be able to develop an Android app in Android Studio directly on my Z Fold 5. It has more than enough power and capability.

Imagine a world where you can develop an Android app easily directly on Android. What a novel idea.

Google needs to be sued, this is unacceptable.

[rickloyd]

If you stick with it for at least a year, you'll be so grateful to Google for the 20 testers requirement. In the past, a lot of the policies seemed unfair, but as you gain experience, you'll see how they're actually helping you and changing for the better. It might sound surprising, but a true developer loves 1-star negative reviews more than 5-star positive ones! Once you understand why, you'll be able to call yourself a successful developer. =)
