This is not OP, but my experience with releasing apps on android is awful. It needs 20 testers who need to test the app for 14 days before it can be released to production. Its a major bottleneck for individual developers. Hope OP isn’t stuck with it.

I was hoping you were wrong but it seems I was just out of touch with Google's latest requirements :(

For anyone wondering, here's the official announcement: https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answ...

It seems to mainly affect personal accounts created after November 13, 2023. Creating an LLC might be a workaround.

That's just Play Store. It's easy to publish APKs on Github releases like any other OS.
