Subject: Appeal / Clarification regarding Closed Testing Engagement - App: Mon Application Android

Dear Google Play Review Team,

We have received feedback stating that our closed testing phase did not fulfill engagement criteria. 

We have since completed the following remediation steps:
1. Recruited 15+ verified active testers via TestMonApp who installed and tested build on physical Android devices.
2. Maintained uninterrupted opt-in presence for over 14 consecutive days.
3. Collected constructive bug reports and user feedback regarding usability and core workflows.
4. Pushed an updated release resolving the initial feedback.

We respectfully request a re-evaluation of our application for production track access.

Best regards,
Developer of Mon Application Android

Top Google Play rejection reasons & solutions

Closed testing engagement insufficient

Why it happens: Google detected low activity, fake installs, or testers who left before 14 full days.

How to fix it: Run your campaign with 15–20 real community testers on TestMonApp and publish at least one minor update with release notes during the test.

App access & login credentials missing

Why it happens: Google reviewers could not access core features behind your login wall.

How to fix it: Go to App Content → App Access in Play Console and provide working test credentials with 2FA instructions.

Privacy Policy URL rejected or incomplete

Why it happens: The privacy policy URL is broken, behind a paywall, or lacks account deletion details.

How to fix it: Host a public HTTPS privacy policy explicitly stating collected data, third-party SDKs (AdMob, Firebase), and user data deletion links.

Misleading metadata or unverified claims

Why it happens: Store listing title, icon, or screenshots contain unauthorized badges or misleading promises.

How to fix it: Remove terms like "#1 App", "Free", or unverified awards from your Play Store title and graphics.
