What else do you think I can try?

Solution

  • We were able to get past this by promoting our app to the Closed Beta (internal early access) track, and adding all necessary details for Google Play to review the app, waiting 2-3 days for the current release to show as "Available", and confirming with the user that it works for them.

    Now, more than just downloadable, it's also searchable on the Play Store (as long as the user is in our email whitelist)
