Upgrade PopUp doesn't appear on Closed Testing

[gokuhsalas]

I created an app to test the Upgrader package before I include it in my full app. Company name has been changed for "company_name" The app was created:

• creating new project
• Copying main.dart from the upgrader/examples folder
• Adding internet permissions

The main.dart hasn't been changed at all, so it is basically this: https://github.com/larryaasen/upgrader/blob/master/example/lib/main.dart

The thing is that after publishing the app as a Closed Testing on PlayStore, PlayStore shows my App by name and I can see all the results. In the About version of the app can be seen among other things:

• Version (shown correctly (1.1.0)) for example
• Updated on
• Downloads
• Updated Size

The app has the same version for every available device. Below this is the upgrader log (and the pubspec.lock) when i run it in debug mode (it says it cannot find the id but the "lookupById url" contains the correct url of the PlayStore App. Any idea of how to fix this so that the Upgrader alert shows? Is it because it is in Closed Testing and it only works in Production? The link to PlayStore below doesn't work because I have manually changed the company domain since we haven't announced yet to be making an app.

This is the code that produces the message: Can't find an app in the Play Store with the id

      if (response.statusCode < 200 || response.statusCode >= 300) {
        if (debugLogging) {
          print(
              'upgrader: Can\'t find an app in the Play Store with the id: $id');
        }
        return null;
      }

What was the response.statusCode?

Can you include the actual company name here for diagnosis?

Ok, I edited the print and got error 404. Also, I tried to search for the app on other devices and it straight up doesn't appear (probably for being a closed testing release). The link also doesn't show the app if the google account associated is not invited.

I will have to ask if I have permission to give the name of the company but in any case, the link wouldn't work for anyone not invited to the closed testing.

I would think Upgrader would find the app if it the Google Play Store in my phone is logged with an allowed user but it seems it doesn't
