I released my app on Google Play Alpha. I added testers through lists of email addresses by selecting "Closed Alpha Testing" under "Choose a testing method". So to be clear, this is not a duplicate of this question, since I'm not using Google groups.
However, when I then open the Opt-in URL (https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.my.app), I get the message "App not available for this account":
I'm 100% sure I'm signed in to the right Google account, and everyone else I invited also gets this error. I also did not receive any email regarding the invite, like some people suggested should happen when I googled it.
Currently, it's been about 2 hours since I've published the app to the alpha track, and nothing has changed.
How can I test the app on the closed alpha track?
Alpha testing an app means releasing it to a controlled users groups which are not necessarily associated with the development of the app itself. Google PlayStore provides “Closed testing” tracks where you can run alpha tests for your Android app.
It took a while to activate. It seems now (a day later), the link does work. Though this delay wasn't clear (to me at least) from the Play Console interface.
Note: I also never received an email about the activation.
