App Indexing- app not showing with website link in google search

Question

I have integrated App Indexing and i tested my implementation by Link Testing in Android Studio , Android Debug Bridge and Deep link testing tool . In all three tests I am able to open the app . But still when i do search in google I am NOT able to see my app with website link like below image.However if app is installed in device I am able to see app in choice of search autocompletion.I have not published the updated version of app in play store.Is that the reason i can't see app with website link?I am confused whether App Indexing is correctly impemented.

Answer 1

The app must be published on Google Play. Then you can use Preview your APK on Search Console .
Also, Declare a website association . After you make association, Google automatically starts indexing any existing or new URLs to your app.
