I am working to publish a private, internal release for our app in the Google Play Store. I'm getting a message saying "An opt-in link will be available here when you publish your app", but I don't know what else I need to do publish my alpha test apk.

The release status says "full rollout", which indicates to me that everything is done.

I know it takes hours for it to appear but I already waited for days. What do I need to do to get this URL? If I sideload the apk that I created, will it be the same as downloading from the store (in terms of IAP authorisation)?

this sucks

It's just a matter of time

  1. Rolling out merely gets you to the Pending publication stage Pending Publication
  2. After some time (say 45 minutes) you will reach the Published stage and the Opt-in URL Published
