New tool simplifies Google Play testing for Android developers

Tester Exchange has launched a new MCP server that integrates with coding agents like Cursor, Claude Code, and Visual Studio Code. This tool simplifies the process for Android developers to meet Google Play's requirement of having 12 testers opt-in for 14 days before an app can be submitted for production. Developers can use their coding agent to list their app, initiate the test, and track progress, with options for free app swaps or paid credits. AI

IMPACT Simplifies a key step in the Android app release process for developers using AI coding assistants.
