Alpha is a built-in track. How can it not find it?

After setup everything manually (again) on the Google Play Developer Console, specifically on the alpha track, everything working as expected.

What did you setup to get this working? I'm getting the same error

[asafron]

@maxschmeling I had to create a full release on alpha track, with testers and everything. Only then everything started working.

It turns out I needed to get the Store Listing information setup (feature image and 2 screenshots) before it would let me push an alpha build.
