Android Closed Testing & Release
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I’m preparing the first Android app for my new venture and need an expert who can shepherd it from the current build all the way to a production-ready listing in Google Play Console. The APK/AAB is finished; what I’m missing is a hands-on partner who knows every menu, policy, and approval screen inside Play Console and can run a smooth closed test with my own internal team members.
Here is what I need handled:
• Configure the Closed Testing track, invite and manage my internal testers, and verify they receive updates without versioning hiccups.
• Review release notes, content ratings, privacy declarations, screenshots, and any policy-sensitive assets to be certain the submission passes first time.
• Triage and fix (or guide my developer to fix) crashes, pre-launch report issues, permission warnings, or policy violations that block rollout.
• Progress the build through the staged rollout process and obtain final production approval, including a clear hand-off package: confirmed release in Play Console and any compliance artefacts generated during review.
Acceptance criteria:
– App visible in Closed Testing track to all invited internal testers and installs smoothly.
– No red or orange warnings remaining in the Play Console dashboard.
– Live production release approved and available in designated countries/track.
When you reply, briefly outline:
• Your recent Android publishing experience with closed or internal testing.
• Specific apps or links you’ve guided to production.
• Any tools or automations you prefer (e.g., Play Console CLI, Firebase Crashlytics) so I can align our workflow.
I’m looking for someone reliable who has successfully navigated this exact path before and can do it end-to-end without guesswork.
