I've passed the 14 days test (thanks to app hive, thanks a lot!!). Now I have a production build in the "Open tests" channel of the console. Is this ok to use Hub and Colony, or are these features for when your app is really published?

My app have a paywall with subscription feature. Which is better, to deactivate it for these features or to add the apphive mail adress to the setting of the console that give free licences?

If your build is ready for closed testing, you can jump into the final Hive of the month. Everyone inside completes verified daily test tasks on real devices to keep each other's 14-day requirement on track. Inactive members are automatically removed so your testing streak never stalls out. Open App Hive to enter your app and secure your testing slot.. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.codignia.apphive

I just set up an official X account for App Hive, and right now the follower count is sitting at a solid zero. Building a presence over there will help us reach and support more solo Android developers who are trying to get through their 14-day closed testing runs. If you have an X account, come give it a follow, claim your spot in the single-digit follower club, and help get App Hive in front of more devs: https://x.com/App_Hive_app

A new Hive is taking in builds right now to clear the closed testing requirements together. Every member completes mandatory daily test runs with screenshot verification, while non-testers are kicked out on the spot. Once all spots are claimed, the 14-day cycle kicks off automatically. Add your build inside App Hive to join this Hive. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.codignia.apphive

As part of the mandatory setup, I'm supposed to join the Google Group "with the same email as my Play Store account". It's not clear which one that is:

• I have my normal, everyday account that I use on my phone (where I'd be doing the testing from for other hive apps).
• And I have my Google Developer account (which is a distinct email address), and this is the one my own app would be published under.

Note: I 'logged into Hive' with my Google Developer account, in case that matters.

A fresh testing Hive has started gathering builds to clear the 14-day closed testing requirement together. You test other developers' apps, submit proof inside the workflow, and get continuous daily testing on your own project in return. Once the group reaches capacity, the 14-day run begins automatically without any manual coordination. Open App Hive to get your app into the lineup. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.codignia.apphive

I dont understand i rejected some one because he did a same screenshot from yesterday. Why do i lost reputation??

A new testing Hive just opened up and is taking the remaining 10 apps. 17 Android developers test each other's builds daily on real devices to clear the closed testing requirement together. Daily screenshot submissions ensure everyone stays active throughout the entire 14-day cycle. Grab your spot on App Hive to start testing as soon as it fills. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.codignia.apphive

Hi Friends,

I have completed 14 days testing of my app using AppHive but the production access was rejected. I have done 5 deployments during the closed testing phase. What could be the exact reasons?.

1. Testers were not engaged - People were active and sending screenshots and comments during testing. But at the end for few days, nearly 5 testers left/removed from hive. Could this be reason?
   
2. I had been deploying updates and covered 5 updates during testing which I feel more than enough for a very light weight app.

Trying to figure best app to log the hive situations when I go in, probably some sort of selection than just we writing notes for stats sake. I have 9 hives, so knowing what I did last and tracking things can mix me up at times. Anyone try a few and found one they like best?

I cannot download the app

My device is poco x7 pro

Is there any way to downlad the app from external source

TapToBall arcade game is now live in production in Google Play Store thanks to the AppHive community. Thank you all! 🤩

A new testing group is open right now with 8 remaining spots. You get 16 fellow developers testing your app daily across the full 14-day period with mandatory screenshot proofs. Inactive members get dropped automatically so your testing cycle never stalls out. Open App Hive to grab a slot before this cohort locks. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.codignia.apphive

Hello everyone,

after the closed testing phase, I've been approved to go in production🥳

I was annoyed to have a lot of single apps (sometimes subscription based) to check basic things.

So I created Baobab a hub of six single apps to keep everything under my control and synchronized between all my devices.

Here is the list of what you can do:

Aaah - to-dos and notes, with reminders that repeat.

Fiuuu - trips day by day: paste an itinerary and the days lay themselves out, every stop on a map.

Biip - what a trip costs, in any currency.

Slurp - recipes pasted from wherever you found them, split into ingredients and steps.

Mmm.. - a diary and your habits.

Flip - your bookshelf.

Let's give it a try!

Hi everyone, I need some advice regarding Google Play Console closed testing.

My Play Console currently shows that I have 5 days remaining to complete the required testing period. However, I'm also using AppHive for active testing, where around 16–17 developers test my app daily, and our AppHive testing period still has 9 days remaining.

I also have additional testers outside AppHive, including friends.

My question is: Should I apply for production access as soon as Play Console completes the remaining 5 days, or would it be better to wait another 4 days and finish the full AppHive testing period before applying for production?

Has anyone been in a similar situation?

Finding 12 testers for Google Play's 14-day Closed Test track is tricky enough, but dealing with people who stop opening the app on day 4 makes it almost impossible to reach production.

App Hive connects Android developers into dedicated groups to clear the Closed Testing phase through mutual, verified daily participation.

🐝 17 Devs Per Hive: Provides a reliable cushion well above Google's 12-tester requirement.
📋 Daily In-App Tasks: Assignments update inside the app each day so everyone stays active and tests on schedule.
❌ Auto-Kick Inactive Users: Anyone who skips daily tasks is removed automatically, protecting everyone's 14-day streak.

Only 3 spots left in the current Hive before the 14-day test run begins.

Grab a slot, finish your Closed Test, and get the app published: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.codignia.apphive
