After going through all the pain now I am stuck at the last step where I need to find 20 unique testers before they will allow me to go to production!

Is that a thing? Can you go stand in a mall and spend an afternoon getting people to test it?

Does that really work ? If a stranger at mall asks us to install a random app out of regular play store flow, only a small number of people will oblige. That number should ideally be zero.

The link you give to external testers goes through the play store, IIRC.

Just share it on reddit.
