Android TV App not displaying in Google Play Store

Below is my manifest file, I have included all the necessary code as per the document but still the app is not displaying in the play store search. I searched using the appId for my Alpha build using my test account which i have included in the tester list. 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.test.package">

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />


    <uses-feature
        android:name="android.hardware.touchscreen"
        android:required="false" />

    <uses-feature
        android:name="android.software.leanback"
        android:required="true" />


    <application
        android:name=".TestApp"
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:banner="@drawable/logo"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:supportsRtl="true"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme">

        <receiver android:name=".BootReceiver"
            android:enabled="true"
            android:exported="true">
            <intent-filter android:directBootAware="true">
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.LOCKED_BOOT_COMPLETED" />
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.QUICKBOOT_POWERON" />
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.REBOOT"/>
            </intent-filter>
        </receiver>

        <activity
            android:name=".activity.MediaActivity"
            android:theme="@style/Theme.AppCompat"
            android:launchMode="singleInstance"/>

        <activity
            android:name=".activity.CodeActivity"
            android:theme="@style/Theme.Leanback">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LEANBACK_LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>

        <activity
            android:name=".activity.CodeAndroidStickActivity"
            android:theme="@style/Theme.AppCompat">

            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>

    </application>

</manifest>

I tried setting the android.software.leanback field to both true and false, but still not getting displayed

Declare leanback to true and touchscreen to false in your manifest file.

<uses-feature
    android:name="android.hardware.touchscreen"
    android:required="false" />
<uses-feature
    android:name="android.software.leanback"
    android:required="true" />

Also finish setup Android TV on Form Factors section in Play console like what this answer done

In your app manifest, you must declare that a touch screen is not required, as shown this example code; otherwise, your app won't appear in Google Play on TV devices.

<manifest>
    <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.touchscreen"
              android:required="false" />
    ...
</manifest>
