Your answers to the production access application

After the closed test, Google asks how the test went, who the app is for and why it is ready. Give your test’s facts: each answer is built from your own words, ready to read over and copy.

You are publishing
1. Your closed test
How you found your testers

With numbers if you have them: “Creating a habit: 14 of 16 testers”.

When, for how long, to do what.

Google asks whether tester usage matched expected production behavior, and any differences you saw.

How you collected feedback

What they reported or asked for, and whether it is fixed.

2. Your app

Be as specific as possible: who, what age, which countries, which languages.

3. Production readiness

With the version if you have it: “1.0.2: fixed a crash on Android 12”.

Language of the answers

The linking sentences change language; what you wrote stays as it is.

Start with the app’s name: the answers write themselves here as you go.

What Google asks

You apply from the app’s Dashboard once at least 12 testers have been opted in continuously for 14 days. The application has three parts, according to Play Console Help: your closed test (how easy recruiting was, tester engagement, the feedback and how you collected it), your app or game (target audience, value proposition, estimated installs in the first year), and production readiness (what you changed after the test, and how you decided the app was ready).

The Play Console’s wording may differ a little from this page. Google says the answers of the second part are not shown on Google Play, and that review usually takes seven days or less. Read every answer again: an answer that looks like everyone else’s reads like a test that was not really run. What you type stays in your browser: nothing is sent or kept.
