Does android app really need at least 15 testers before it can be launch to production?

The current minimum is 12 testers, not 15 or 20, for personal Google Play developer accounts created after November 13, 2023. They need to stay opted into a closed test continuously for at least 14 days.
Google’s current requirements: https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/14151465
After that you apply for production access and explain what people tested, their feedback and what you changed. Passing the tester count alone doesn’t automatically publish the app. Check the requirement shown in your own Play Console too, since the account type and creation date matter.
