    I need to have my app tested by Android users but don't have an Android device.
    I use Mac and have my app tested in TestFlight. Are there any equivalent in Android?

    Ok. Found out I can create a virtual device in Android Studio. But how to send a build to beta test on Google Play?
    Anyone?

    And does the bundle ID have to be the same as the one on the App Store?

    The bundle id should be the same
    If you want to send an offline BETA test then you just need to share the APK file with your testers
    While if you want to send the BETA over the Play Store then:
    1) From Google Play Console go to Release management then App Releases
    2) From App Releases you can create a BETA test either 'Open' or 'Closed'
    3) For the 'Closed' one you will need to create a testers list
    4) Once your app is approved you will find a link to share with them from the Google Play Console

    Just note that reviewing/approving your app will probably take a few days so keep an eye on your Google Play Console for any errors or review comments
