Google recently made a small but significant change to its app store listing requirements, making it easier for independent developers to publish their apps. Gone are the days of needing 20 testers to evaluate their app for two weeks. Now, developers can get by with just 12 testers, a cost-cutting move that will likely see many indie devs breathe a sigh of relief.
The change is particularly beneficial for solo developers who often rely on volunteers or paid freelancers to test their apps. Finding 20 dedicated testers with the time and willingness to review their app for two weeks can be a daunting task. With the new rules, indie devs can get their apps live on the Play Store more quickly and with less hassle.
Something to thank Google for.
