Release PilotWhy you get More testing required and how to fix it
2026-06-25
The More testing required message means you have not satisfied the closed testing requirement yet. Below are the common causes.
Common causes
- Fewer than 12 testers were opted in at the time Google checked.
- A tester dropped, breaking the 14-day streak.
- Testers were added but never actually opted in via the link.
- Miscounting days: the 14 days must be continuous, not cumulative.
How to fix it
- Reconcile the real opt-in count in Play Console — do not guess.
- Add testers to exceed the 12 threshold with a safe buffer.
- Keep testers stable for 14 continuous days before resubmitting.
If you keep losing testers, a tracked real tester pool with proactive replacement helps keep the 14-day streak unbroken.
Need 12 testers × 14 days without doing it all yourself? Release Pilot coordinates real testers and tracks it for you.
