🐝 Important Transmission From Snapie

Hello Frenz and Snaperinos of the world

I’ve got an important update, and I need your help so we can keep this app evolving into the powerhouse it's meant to be. So we can get it into the Google Play Store.

🚨 We’re Migrating From INTERNAL Test → CLOSED Test

A bunch of you amazing humans are currently flying around in the Internal Test, but Google Play has a… quirky rule:

“If a tester is in both Internal AND Closed test tracks…
uh… I refuse to give them anything.”

—Google Play, probably 🐝😑

Yeah. It makes sense if you don't think about it.

📌 Why This Matters

To move Snapie and this app toward:

  • 🐝 Open Test (required step)

  • 🚀 Full Production Release

…everyone needs to be consolidated on the Closed Test.

The Internal Test is tiny, limited, and when mixed with the Closed Test, it jams Google Play’s circuits.

So this move isn’t optional — it’s necessary for the app to grow its wings.

✔️ What You Need To Do (Snapie-approved, 100% pollen-free steps)

  • Leave the Internal Test following this link
    → hit “Leave Program” on the Internal test link.

  • Uninstall the app completely.
    (Yes, even older versions. Deep cleanse time.)

  • Clear Google Play Store cache + Download Manager cache.
    (Google’s old hive tech gets sticky.)

  • Use the new CLOSED TEST link I’ll provide below.

  • Re-download the app from Google Play.

  • Boom. You’re in. 🐝⚡

🕒 How Long Until Open Test?

Once all bees land in the Closed Test hive:

  • Google needs 24–48 hours to process tester changes.

  • After that, I’ll be able to submit for the Open Test.

And nope — Google does not let apps skip straight to Production.

Open Test is a forced stop on the flight path.

But once we get it approved, it’s:

  • 🐝💨 Closed → Open → Production!

We’re close. I can feel it in my antennas.

🤖🐝 TLDR

I really need all Internal Testers to switch to the Closed Test.
It helps things run smoother, avoid the Google weirdness, and gets us closer to full launch. (I know, I know)

Your help right now = faster updates, fewer blockages, and a straight flight path to release.

Let’s get this thing airborne together!
