My app is open-source, although I'm not going to link it here, it's an SSH client for Android.

I'm in a tight bind as I need to find testers soon, otherwise Google will close my developer account for inactivity.

I have a Google form for recruiting testers, but I'm not sure where I should advertise it.

I can't just put it on the app website or the github repo because both are brand new and nobody knows about them yet.

I never heard of Google closing developer accounts for inactivity

I got a notification from them since I hadn't used it for publishing an app for like a year or something.

I do have an app I want to publish though, which is why I'm looking for testers

Already found 1 out of 20 so far

Free, most common way-

r/TestMyApp
r/betatests
r/androidapps

If you have a budget like $100-$200 you can significantly more testers more

Could you DM me? Got couple questions about that.

You can use Browserstack. Its the best I ever used. You can test any kind of apps here.

I know about browserstack, but I need to find other people to test my app to comply with google play's requirements

Post in Android and dev subreddits. Also try Telegram groups for testers. Small beta testing sites can help too.

I'll DM you later today. Budget is not really a problem. It's an SSH client btw, also GPL v3 licensed so it will have a Github and an F-Droid listing too.
