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

Answer 1

I had the same problem and I solved with the next steps:

1. Adding my APK file to internal testing channel
2. Adding a tester user with a gmail account ex: email@gmail.com. GSuite mails don't work
3. With the tester mail, accept the tester privilege
4. With a physical device signed with the tester user email, go to Play Store and download the app

It works!!

Note: If App is not published yet, you could use Google Console App Sharing
