I have faced an issue about after published the app on play store by using closed testing track, the app will show the label "(Early Access)" beside the app name. Is it possible to remove it?

I've created a PWA of one of our sites to test internally in the company.
I used pwabuilder and created the app inside google play console.
I've tried internal testing, closed testing, as well as open testing but only 2 of our employees are able to see the app in the store and install it. The remainng people who tested get a 'something went wrong' page after accepting the opt-in and clicking on 'download from the play store'
After further investigation, I noticed this little warning:
This is the only thing I can think of that is restricting some users from testing. The 2 employees who were able to install it are using company phones and the others are using personal phones.
How do I change this to not be restricted to my organization? I never selected a 'organization only app' at any point. I can't seem to change this to be open to the entire public.
Any help is appreciated
I am trying to launch an app onto the Google Play Store.
However I want to avoid actually launching it, but still get it reviewed so that it can be published (without any changes) at a later date. This would avoid another review once I actually want it published and available to download.
Is there any way to achieve this?
I have already gone through the process of Internal/Beta.. testing.
in google play console when you are inside your app
in the left manu bar click on the Publishing overview tab
then on the right side of the screen click on turn on managed publishing,
then select if you want to manually publish or leave it in auto publish mode.
I have developed an App and published the same in google play store console. Even after many days the app is not getting listed in play store while searching using App Name.
I have tried searching using the project name. Its shows my app while searching.
It's normal. It need time, interactions and downloads to scale the list.
Don't worry

I created a standalone smartwatch app for Wear OS. I use a Huawei Watch 2 4G for testing. I now want to have it in the beta track on Google Play Store so that users can test it. I've created some smartphone apps already and put them in the Play Store, so I'm used to the process. What I did so far:
Created entry on Google Play Console
Added a release to the open beta track
Filled all necessary stuff
Published the app and got the URL to participate in the beta test
Opened the URL while logged in with my test account and agreed to become a tester
Wiped the smartwatch and copied the same account to the watch during setup
Now I don't know how to install the app from the Play Store. On a smartphone I would simply open the URL in a browser and would be able to install it from there. What I tried so far:
Searching for the app name and for the package name on the Play Store on the smartwatch, but it can't find it.
Opening the Play Store entry in a browser and click the install button, but it says that I have no devices.
Opening the URL on the paired smartphone, but it only says that the device is not compatible.
How can I install a standalone Wear OS app that is in the open beta track on Google Play Store?
As suggest in #tofferj 's comment I simply had to wait a few more hours. I'm now able to find it by simply searching for the app name in the Play Store on the smartwatch.
Seems like the status "published" on the Google Play Console doesn't mean that it's already in the search index.
I am making a standalone wear app and have uploaded the wear apk in beta testing

I assume you are tring to use a closed beta distribution mode.
If you want your app to be found by simple search on the Play Store use an openBeta instead (everybody can search your app).
However, if you still have difficulties finding your app on the watch store you can use the following method starting directly at point (3).
If you need to stick with closed beta, you need to install the app trough the browser of your PC/MAC.
Use the test link of your app:
https://play.google.com/apps/testing/{YOUR_PACKAGE_NAME}
(Make sure you are logged in to the Google Play in your browser with the Google Account you authorized as a beta tester)
Accept to become a beta tester, and click on "Download the {YOUR_APP_NAME} app on Google Play" or Search it directly in the store.
Once you are in the Google Play listing page of your app, install it by clicking on the install button and
selecting your device:
