— Guides
Getting to production, both stores.
Everything you need to ship — Google Play's closed-testing gauntlet and Apple's App Review, written for developers who just want to release.
The 12 testers, 14 days rule
What Google actually requires — and what counts.
Who the closed-testing requirement applies to, what “continuously opted in” really means, and how a personal developer account earns production access.
