“You're a tester”, but no Install button
The release is still on its way: Google says it can take several hours after a test's first publish. Wait a few hours, then open the link again.

What you see
The test page says you're a tester, yet the Play Store offers no “Install” button, or doesn't show the app yet.
Why
The release is still on its way to testers. After a test's first publish, Google says it can take several hours to become available, and later changes can take several hours too.
What to do
- Wait a few hours. You have 48 hours from the invitation to install the app and open it from the tester app.
- Check that the Play Store uses the Google account you use with Peerbeta.
- Tap “Open Google Play” again in the tester app.
- Once the app is installed, come back and tap “Open the app” to confirm it.
- Still nothing after a day? Write to us from Help in the tester app.
What Peerbeta does
When the developer published the release less than 6 hours ago, the diagnosis tells them it's probably still rolling out, so they wait instead of changing the setup.
