I want to distribute my app as both normal and instant app on Google Play, the size of the normal bundle is below 10Mb so it can also be an instant app.
I followed google's guide to build instant apps with bundles (https://developer.android.com/topic/google-play-instant/getting-started/instant-enabled-app-bundle#test-from-studio).
Basically I created two bundles, one with the installable app (version code 1000) and one with the manifest configurations for instant app (targetSandboxVersion=2 and <dist:module dist:instant="true" /> version code 1).
I also did the configuration for the verified app links, so deeplinking in the installable app works just fine.
I uploaded both bundles to my internal test track, I invited myself as a tester. I can see the installable app on my phone, I can install it just fine, but the problem is that I cannot see the instant app, if I open the url for the instant app build from my phone, PlayStore app is getting stuck in a loading screen. Also the "Try now" button if I open the details of my app internal testing app.
I have Google play instant and internal app sharing active. I tried everything I could find online, nothing seems to work.
Any ideas what I am doing wrong? Thanks in advance.
For anyone having the same issue, I promoted my release to a Closed release, the app went throw the google review process and now I can see the "Try now" button and the instant app functionality is enabled.
