How authorized testers turn on internal app sharing Before authorized testers can download apps using internal app sharing, 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. Tap Turn on.


According to the internal app sharing documentation (See "Troubleshoot issues"), there are many reasons why this could be the case, but they often boil down to the users not being eligible to receive the app in production (e.g. incompatible device, not in the country the app is distributed in, etc.).

Note that we (Play Console team) understand that this is not ideal and are actively working to remove this limitation.
