Can't test published Expo project on Expo GO when not developping it

I'm working on a react-native app using expo.

I have no problem to display the application on my Android Phone using the QR CODE provided by Metro Builder. But I would like my customers to be able to see my project even when i'm not working on it.

I published my application using expo publish and Metro Builder gave me a link that is similar to this : https://expo.io/@USERNAME/projects/MyProjectName. My project is in unlisted visibility, so that anyone with the link can see it. Yet, i'm not able to open it in my Android Expo application. When I visit the link, it doesn't ask me to open it with Expo, and there's no button to do it. If I try to copy the link to my clipboard, and then click Open from clipboard in Expo Go, it will open the navigator again.

I also tried to generate a QR CODE from the link, but it does the same.

How do you open your project in Expo Go when you're not into development ?

You can just use the QR code which already generated by expo is provided in that project link eg. https://expo.io/@USERNAME/MyProjectName or with release channel https://expo.io/@USERNAME/MyProjectName?release-channel=MyReleaseChannelName

Take a screenshot of that QR code and send it. Regardless of the project visibility they will be able to install the app by scanning it with their phone.
