Troubleshooting
Closed-test roster dropped below 12 testers
Restore the roster immediately and treat the continuous 14-day requirement as restarted until Play Console shows otherwise.
Checked and updated August 2026
Fix it in this order
- Confirm the exact account and release state
- Check tester eligibility and access
- Correct the roster or configuration
- Record evidence before applying again
What to capture
- The affected Google account and country.
- The testing track, release status, and tester group.
- The exact opt-in URL and the message shown.
- The Play Console roster and eligibility state.
Avoid resets without evidence
Changing tracks, groups, and releases at the same time hides the actual cause. Resolve one failed boundary, verify it, then continue.
