Play Core In-App Review API not showing the Review Activity

Question

I\'m trying to utilize the Review API (Play Core library 1.8.0) from Google which was just released yesterday. See https://developer.android.com/guide/playcore/in-app-review

Try uploading your app to Internal App Sharing

I have found that with the exact same apk uploaded to Internal Testing versus Internal App Sharing, the latter is more reliable in displaying the In-App Review Flow every time I try testing it.

You would need to enable Internal app sharing in the Play Store to be able to install your app from the link provided by uploading your apk.

Basically go to the Play Store, go to Settings, scroll down to Play Store version and tap it a bunch of times to "Become a developer", then enable Internal app sharing.
