Is this a new requirement? I launched a flutter app about 8 months ago and didn't need any testers. It's a free app though. Not sure if that makes a difference.

I hadn't come across this, but found https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answ...

It seems this only applies to personal accounts that were created recently (which would explain why I've not had any issues with recently created business accounts, nor my own personal account which is probably old enough to be in school)

Yes it began afaik for any new developers joining after November 2023 for any type of application. If you have an account registered as a Play Store developer before Nov 2023, it's not required...
