UWP Application is not appearing in the store

Hi,

We have a problem with the application we submitted just for our team for testing purposes (private, to a selected group). I tried many things (including test flights), but it doesn't show up in the store, and we don't know how to install it. It might be something trivial, but also, a direct link to the application doesn't work.

So questions I have:
1. What should we do to fix the problem of the build not appearing on the store?
2. If we're using IAP, does the application need to be downloaded from the store? Or we can test it directly without going through the submission process?

Hello,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!


Based on the image you shared, you've set the Discoverability of your app to Make this product available but not discoverable in the Store. The behavior you got is the expected behavior as the app should be not discoverable in the Store.

If you want to install it, please go to the partner center, and find your app, find Product Management > Package Identity. Then you could find a URL of your app at the bottom of the Package Identity Page. Using this URL, the users in the test group should be able to find the app in the store.

Thank you.

Thank you for the quick answer.
You're right. In the end, the problem was actually in different types of account. I needed to add the other email I use (not business mail I use on Partner Center) in the TestGroup, and now it works.
