Play Core In-App Review API not showing the Review Activity

Question

I'm trying to utilize the Review API (Play Core library 1.8.0) from Google which was just released yesterday. See https://developer.android.com/guide/playcore/in-app-review

I followed the troubleshooting section carefully, I made sure the app is downloaded from the internal testing track, my account does not have a review on the app, the app is in the library of that user etc.. I even tried with a completely new account, but every time the com.google.android.finsky.inappreviewdialog.InAppReviewActivity is shown only to immediately disappear.

I'm calling the following code from the onResume() method of my activity:

                reviewManager = ReviewManagerFactory.create(AlarmClock.this);
                Logger.logInfo("Rating: requestReviewFlow() ");
                reviewManager.requestReviewFlow().addOnSuccessListener(new OnSuccessListener<ReviewInfo>() {
                    @Override
                    public void onSuccess(ReviewInfo result) {
                        Logger.logInfo("Rating: launchReviewFlow() ");
                        reviewManager.launchReviewFlow(AlarmClock.this, result).addOnSuccessListener(new OnSuccessListener<Void>() {
                            @Override
                            public void onSuccess(Void result) {
                                Logger.logInfo("Rating: launchReviewFlow() success ");
                            }
                        });
                    }
                });

Both listeners return success.

Here is the log output:

Anyone had success to make this working? Any tips. Big thanks!
