I've started deploying a new app under testing (public testing) a few days ago (it's still under review). I've also made similar flow for iOS (test flight). I already had few apps on Play for years now but didn't need to update them within the past 2 years. The AppStore and Play Store feels now much similar than before: - bundles / bitcode - The AppStore get modules they can repackage on "your behalf" - review - for a year or more it takes a few days for your app to be reviewed. Even just for testing (public beta) - signed by store, that's the major difference now (which as stated required for bundles) Iiuc, that was always the case with Amazon AppStore (noted by commonsware https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27651983 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27651983) Personally I'm more concerned when/if a private certificate won't be allowed at all (eg iDevices).
