Answer 1

If this is the first time your app is being published on a track, it will take a couple of hours to be processed. This is only a one-time thing though, for future updates, the availability will be immediate on the internal test track.

Once the app is available, you'll also need to follow the opt-in link to be eligible for the download of the app.

Answer 2

For Android App Bundles (AAB)

1. On the left menu, select Release > Devices and versions > App bundle explorer.

2. Select the artifact filter near the top right of the page.

3. On the “Choose an artifact” table, select the right arrow on the artifact you want to view.

4. Select the Downloads tab.

5. To share a link to install a specific APK: In the “Internal app sharing link” section, select Copy shareable link.

For Both APKs and AABs

You can use Internal app sharing instead.

Upload an APK or app bundle on the internal app sharing upload page Then you can make your app available to anyone by sharing a download link.

Before anyone can download, they need to turn on internal app sharing on their Google Play Store app.

• Open the Google Play Store app Google Play.
• Tap Menu Menu > Settings.
• In the “About” section, tap the Play Store version 7 times.
• After the Internal app sharing setting appears, tap the switch to turn on internal app sharing.

Answer 3

In my case the missing step was to enable Managed Google Play, which "Manage your private app and make it available to specific organisations". You don't need to apply an organisation filter, and simply use the internal test tracks.

The setting is found in Setup > Advanced Settings > Managed Google Play
