## Google Play - Android Ecosystem
[Alpha Test on Google Play](https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/3131213?hl=en):
- Up to 100 internal testers
- Testers are invited via Gmail or a public link
Note: More than one version of the same app cannot be tested at the same time; you have to leave the test program in order to download a production version
Publishing an Android app in Google Play takes about an hour or two; sometimes even faster.
_Note:_ More than one version of the same app cannot be tested at the same time; must leave the test program in order to download a production version.
