Google is cracking down on the slew of sub-par apps in its Play Store as part of its latest effort to show that it's taking concerns about Android security seriously. This week, Google announced stricter requirements for developers to follow if they want their apps to become available to the public on the best Android phones via the Play Store.
Previously, testing your app on the Play Console, Google's testing, management, and reporting platform for Android apps listed in the Play Store, was optional. But moving forward, new personal developer accounts will have to test their app with at least 20 people for a minimum of two weeks before it'll be allowed on the Play Store. This requirement will start rolling out in the next few days.
