Amazon Underground Publishing FAILED

Hello! My app, Money Marathon, worked very easily publishing it to normal Amazon, Google Play and Apple, but when I created a new "premium version" for Amazon Underground, it FAILED the Amazon tests.


It says "Amazon Underground: Your app has not qualified for Amazon Underground program availability. The reasons for disqualification are:

App is not available on non-Amazon devices. Your app failed functional testing on non-Amazon devices. Refer below for details on failure reasons. To be eligible for Amazon Underground, your app must be available on non-Amazon devices. For more information on the guidelines, please refer to Understanding Amazon Underground."


Does that mean I have to submit a signed apk also or something? It worked simply with a nonsigned one for normal amazon publishing.
Or do I have to ensure IAPs are unchecked in the Android apk builder on GS.com? Any tips? My package name matches the name on amazon.dev site correctly, it just says it will not work on non-amazon devices.

Here's the full failure email:

    @BlackCloakGS Thanks! I figured out that it wouldn't accept it because I had SHARE buttons that didn't work (since GS doesn't have screenshot capabilities) and my IAPs didn't work. It is all taken care of now thanks
