Can You Remove Testers Once the 14 Days Are Up?

Removing testers is easy. Doing it at the wrong moment is the mistake. Once your 14 consecutive days pass and the Apply for Production button becomes available, it is tempting to clear out email lists or delete your Google Group right away. You can remove testers after closed testing on Google Play, but I'd wait until Google has approved your production application. I built PeerPlay after running into the 12-tester requirement myself with my own Android app and not being able to find 12 real testers, so I understand the urge to wrap things up.
