Google is moro.n, who wants to share personal stuff to google...for experimental projects? I am not a company why we should give google permissions to own out personal details ,more over I hate to disclose my adrees to the whole world. how far security measures go ? This is not about security actually this is more about hoe to monitor people and know everything about you.

Google request too much information. It would be good to remind Google that was android 15 years ago. Where is freedom Google, you destroyed Android development..just business matter for you. I won't give you my ID never.

Google is a spy for governments and will trade our personal daea

im gona buy an iPhone - screw this

This is a very good video, it really goes beyond the title

after seeing this video i decided not to publish my app and just use it for me... is not worth bothering with the bastards for a simple and free app. they become as adobe. they want from me to accept this: "5.1 Google may, at its sole discretion, change, discontinue, or limit access to any Play Console feature or functionality, including reporting metrics, for any reason at any time without liability to You or the Account Owner."

even apple review getting much much better every year, android 😵

'We can't verify your phone number phone number at this time, try again or request a call' (even when what you're doing is literally requesting one). The more I deal with google the more I dislike them, this level of incompetence can only be deliberate

Google suck, I'm switching back to Apple

16:23 he says as he plays music way too loud

GOOGLE SUSPENDED MY GOOGLE PLAY! they want my government ID! This is bull!

Ok so 20 testers, 14 days.. But for HOW LONG do they have play? 1 minute..15 min?

Google is the master of offloading liability onto the user/developer/anyone but them.

With this changes, at least for me it's time to leave the google play store. This is so bad for small developers, they are exposing our full address to the internet... Too much risk for us.

Evil corporation indirectly rejecting people and trying to stop competition from indie developers

my goat

I'm so pissed, tired and depressed. My PERSONAL account is being force to agreed to expose my home address, since I implemented some kind of monetization in the past (long before this policy even being a possibility). What makes worse is GOOGLE SUPPORT suggesting me to create a second account to transfer my apps (to refund later to not pay twice), to have them without monetization in the new one, so I could have my address hidden again, since once your account goes monetize, you can't go back. They just failed to realize now transferring apps are only for account with merchant account configure, which no longer has personal type, making me pay again for nothing. I will lose my account, because I refuse to expose my home address. They made me paid another account, witch I will not get refunded 99% certain. And now they are just changing me from attendant to attendant. Google is a scam now guys. They robbed me just like that. All I can do is complain in my country respective entity this likely crime, knowing that I will never get even refunded for being guided by google support to buy another account, and all I can do is just to accept my old account being lost in a such imoral forced agreement, with no alternative or demonetization option. But I already know I lost twice. I'm autistic and depression got me hard on that one, I just want to hit my head in wall to feel less pain. Since we have personal accounts, and we bought them from google, we should be consider a customer with the need to have our address protected as well. In that perspective, google may be violating many countries law protection about personal data. We are not even people for google it seems.

When you did the comparrison to Windows Store 7:06, you acknowledged that the first few rows were high quality apps. tbh most people, most of the time don't scroll past the first few rows anyhow. Even beyond this there were good quality apps mixed in with others. You were able to filter out by user rating, recognition, presentation etc. those apps that were probably not great. These factors allow people to gauge the quality already. If they do try something new, then it might not be great but might be decent and it allows recognition for new developers. A few years back the Windows Store had some fake apps, e.g. pay money to launch a free app, that should be filtered, but then these don't need 20 people testing over 14 days. Also a free app that doesn't have any sort of adult, third party or money making content or asks for personal information is not going to be exploitative. The way that Google do things, it stops any new developers without a ridiculous amount of money from becoming successful. I would make the same argument for new web developers who don't have a fortune to spend on add words, SEO etc.

Perhaps my situation is quite unusual, but I teach people coding in clubs and camp sessions. So I actually want to make simple, derivative apps and games, that are easy to make and publish within a short period, to inspire young, enthusiastic prodigies to do likewise. We all need to start somewhere. Considering how they teach computing in schools and Harvard, I am sure at one stage even the likes of Zuckerburg was making a simple "hello world" program in Scratch at one point and then do similar for web and then smartphone use. They are creating barriers for young new developers to start. It is as if they only want large corporations to have any chance... wait, this is Google, ahh, it is becoming clear now.

Great video with lots of detail! The step we are stuck on is providing the DL, passport, or other to complete our organization account verification. Is there another method besides passing an image of a DL or passport?

Its stupid new has this restriction and oldies like me still old rules and nothing to upload my apps ... google is discouraging new small or beginner developers ... I figured out this when someone asked if I can sell or rent my app account to his new app ...

Well, That's it for me. Google wants to put my personal address made FULLY public. First Apple wants too much a year, and now Google. I see that as a personal security issue, I don't want people who use my apps know exactly where I live. That's it, no more coding for me :(

with this stupid google decision I'm seeing people trading google play accounts

I think we need to develop an indie android game developer community. I this way we can create small groups to pass 20/14 policy successfully.

Can I release a primitive version of the program with nothing in it, test it quickly, and then upgrade it to a full version after the test?

How to video, pretending to be a why should video.

Then there will be another playshop no more playstore

I know this is getting old but if my comment helps devs to find this message, better for everyone. This is one of those policy things Google does not tell you before they take your monies for the new play console account! They ask for D-U-N-S number, contact details etc and the $25 registration fee, before they tell you about these hurdles. I guess our frontend app will not be in Play store, being a mobile UI for the service we provide ...

This is not good they should cancell it

Also, I have tried to comply with their rules and "work with them" as the video suggests but then got arbitrarily rejected based on them not even understanding the nuances that different countries have for individual ID verification. They even contradict themselves constantly. I now have lost money and time that I will never get back just because they decided to suspend my account and of course keep the money that I had already pay them to create my developer account. So don't tell me that by "working with them" you'll get good results. They don't even let you talk to a human being when appealing their already automated decisions. You always get the same automated rejection message whatever you write and attach as prove of their "mistakes". I'm just tired and giving up on this s***t, even more now that I see people who can have the luxury of "keeping a good stance" with Google based on their fame. Sucks.

I feel discouraged by the of this video, a relevant voice in the industry blaming the developers for the short-comings of one of the largest monopolistic multinational company is just disheartening.

can't watch the video with that annoying music in the background.

Don’t understand this testers should open the application everyday for 14 days?

great video, thanks! was already prepared to go down the community or paid-service path. cheers

Very good RxJava explanation! I would remove the background music though 😅

this is ridiculous. no community going to help you testing your app . users will use your app only when its fully functional with proper name, in closed testing , playstore doesnt even publishes the app by its real name rather some nick name. some app will be useful only when its used by many .

Thank you for tons of info man!

i have currently faced an issue saying "Google couldn't verify your identity" . i have uploaded my passport and my bank statement both

Very clean explanation

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, networking, than coding, all things I enjoy as a indy dev was taken off by new rules - there we have corpo-monopoly machine - I heard there is more app stores, maybe instead of waste my time I should find other places to put my small hobbyist projects : (

Music is too loud!

Fuck you google

This video is incredible unhelpful.

do need these 20 testers for every time every updated version of our apps on google play, or one initial test, is enoguh? thanks

Wtf

This is asinine.

Seems it doesn't just apply to new accounts, but expired developer accounts as well. Had an account from 4 years ago that still had to go through this process and re-pay the 'lifetime' (which is not really lifetime) developer fee. People can bypass these goofy tester requirements by just paying for testers in poor countries anyway...it doesn't ensure high quality or safe apps....people can still publish junk to the store. Seems like this was thought up by some project manager that wanted to tick a box without putting much thought into it and collect their six figure monthly google paycheque...

A Lead Generation campaign with a clear message about internal testing could be a better option for finding your 20 testers
