Instant app Internal test behavior

Question

I uploaded an instant app on internal test track and created a tester list with 3 testers. I send the opt-in URL to all testers and they accepted the inviation to be a tester.

I uploaded assetlinks.json to my website (www.example.com) and added applinks to my instant app.

1. Will the testers be able to see TRY NOW in play store for my instant app ?
2. Can they access instant app through the URL www.example.com/test

Also this is quoted in android developer site

"To test your instant app's deployment on the internal testing track through Google Play, you must have a draft form of your app's installable version in the Google Play Console."

My application is already published on play store. Do I have to make aseperate draft again ?

Answer 1

This should work. After adding the testers, be sure that you send them the opt-in links and they accept. Once they have opted in, you may want to trigger a reload of their cached instant app list (this is the thing that takes a few days to sync on its own). There are a few ways to do this:

• While connected to WiFi, unplug the device and plug it back in
• Opt out and back in to instant apps (Settings > Google > Instant Apps)
• Run adb shell am broadcast -a com.google.android.finsky.action.CONTENT_FILTERS_CHANGED from a connected machine set up for USB debugging.
