Beta testing: App not appearing in Play Store Beta tab

Question

I have been trying for several weeks now to get the Google Alpha / Beta testing functionality on the Play Store to work with no success. As far as I can tell I have followed

Answer 1

In my case I had published the Beta version and had created the testers but not linked them together. What I had to do was:

1. Go to manage releases

2. Choose a testing method - Closed Beta Testing

3. Then when testers list shows, make active the group of testers you would like to test the app.

4. Save

5. Get Opt-in URL link and paste it in a new tab (you should be logged in to google)

6. Then click at the "Become a Tester" button

You should now be a tester and ready to go.

@Important If you still can not find the app by searching in Play Store just copy the "Opt-in URL" into your tester phone's browser and you should see the app.

Hope it helps
