Could anyone plz let me know, How internal tester can download the "Android" pre-released App build ? Because now "TestFlight" is only for iOS as acquired by Apple. Whether, solution is to upload the Android pre-release app build on "Google Play" and invite internal-tester to get download. **Earlier I used "TestFlight", I downloaded pre-released app build on iOS7 device, the distributed by Developer for internal testing. Thanks,

When you publish a new Android App Bundle to the internal test track, it will be available to testers within minutes. Note: If you're publishing an app for the first time, it will be immediately available to internal testers, but will have a temporary name and store listing information for up to 48 hours.
Open Play Console. Select an app. On the left menu, select Release > Internal testing > Internal app sharing. On the Uploaders and testers tab, scroll to the “Manage testers” section and check that the option “Anyone you shared the link with can download” is selected (it should be selected by default).
Use opt-in URL, which is generated in the "Internal test" area of Google Play Console, after completing all the publishing steps

My mistake was to look at the wrong place for the publishing status.
I looked at the status of the internal track release itself, instead of looking at the release status of the app (located in App-Releases in the dropdown at the top). So the app wasn't released yet, thats why the internal track release didn't have a participation-URL in the tab with the testers list.
CLARIFICATION
As suggested by the comment below, here some screenshots from my android console. The status that I looked at was the status of the internal track release:
The one I should have looked at, was the status of the app itself:
These are two different states!
After both are released, you can create a list of testers for your internal test track and give them the link provided in the console:
ADDITIONAL INFO
It seems like the above mentioned indicators might only be right for the initial launch. I've updated the app and tried to download the new version as a tester. However, instead of getting the new Version (0.0.10) I got the old, non-updated version (0.0.9). So, maybe wait for the notification in the console that tells you that the shop entry has been updated. Could take a few minutes (hours?).
