Production access readiness

Prepare your app for Google Play production access

Production access depends on completing a reliable closed testing cycle. DevSwap helps Android developers coordinate real testers, keep daily activity visible, and reduce fake or inactive participation before applying.

Complete the 12-tester requirement

DevSwap rooms are built around the practical challenge of finding enough real Android testers and keeping them active through the testing cycle.

  • 13-member room structure
  • 12 real tester target

Protect the 14-day window

Inactive testers can waste days of waiting. DevSwap makes activity, missed participation, and trust signals visible so developers can react earlier.

  • Warnings for low activity
  • DevSwap Guard session signals

Show a cleaner testing history

Managed campaigns and verified rooms help you organize app identity, package name, SHA-256 fingerprint, tester activity, and completion status in one place.

  • Package-name focused workflows
  • SHA-256 app verification
  • Campaign and room reporting foundation
