The Viishrut answer helped alot, but didn't fully cover the path for Samsung mobiles or maybe latest android version 13+. So as a 4th step this is what I had to do extra. After performing all first three steps the 4th step is below.

Step 4: Inside General, Scroll down and Tap Developer Options. And there you'll see Interlal app sharing. Turn that ON.

Before authorized testers can download apps using internal app sharing, they need to turn on internal app sharing on their Google Play Store app.

Open the Google Play Store app Google Play. Tap Menu Menu > Settings. In the "About" section, tap the Play Store version 7 times. After the Internal app sharing setting appears, tap the switch to turn on internal app sharing. Tap Turn on.
