step-by-step to remove the organization restriction so that your app is available publicly on Play Store

remove the “Only these organizations can access your app” restriction.


Step-by-Step in Play Console

1. Log in


2. Select your App

  • On the dashboard, click on the app that is showing the restriction.

3. Check Testing Setup

  1. From the left menu, go to Release → Testing.
  2. Click on Closed testing.
    • If you see “Organization testers” or your company domain (like @example.com), that means only that organization can use it.

Fix:

  • Either delete this closed test track OR
  • Switch it to Open testing (click the track → “Testers” → change to open testing).

4. Change App Availability

  1. In the left menu, go to Setup → Advanced settings.
  2. Under App availability, select Available to all users.
    • If it’s set to Restricted to organizations, change it.

5. Roll Out Public Release

  1. From the left menu, go to Release → Production.
  2. Click Create new release.
  3. Upload your signed .aab (App Bundle) or .apk.
  4. Fill in release notes.
  5. Click Review release → then Roll out to Production.

6. Wait for Google Review

  • Google will check your app for policy compliance.
  • Once approved, it will appear on the Play Store for everyone.

After this, the message “Only these organizations can access your app” will disappear, and your app will be public.
