You may have opted into having Google Play sign your releases with a key they generated, and only use your key for the upload.

If you did, simply copy the App signing certificate SHA-256 fingerprint under Release Management -> App Signing into the assetlinks.json file.

Google needs to verify that the owner of the website and the owner of the app is the same. In order to perform this verification it will look for an assetlinks.json at the location /.well-known/assetlinks.json

This assetlinks.json should contain the sha256 of the corresponding android app along with the package_name, namespace and some other information as shown here.

[{
  "relation": ["delegate_permission/common.handle_all_urls"],
  "target": {
    "namespace": "android_app",
    "package_name": "org.chromium.twa.svgomg",
    "sha256_cert_fingerprints": [
          "82:04:C5:DB:19:A8:B9:8A:27:14:F0:3E:F5:23:2C:6B:B6:B9:63:10:F2:F9:CD:44:72:AA:C6:7E:09:E1:1C:47",
          "91:45:8F:34:E3:13:E4:58:1C:12:21:7A:FD:1E:BD:5C:BE:9B:DE:2C:1E:57:DC:0D:2B:0E:91:1D:A6:36:CA:E8"
        ]
      }
    }]

You will also need to update the AndroidManifest.xml as shown below.

<application>
    ...
    <meta-data android:name="asset_statements"
android:resource="@string/asset_statements" />
    ...
  </application>

For this to work we need to add the asset_statements in the strings.xml file as below.

<string name="asset_statements">
        [{
            \"relation\": [\"delegate_permission/common.handle_all_urls\"],
            \"target\": {
                \"namespace\": \"web\",
                \"site\": \"https://svgomg.firebaseapp.com\"}
        }]
</string>

back slashes are compulsory. After all this is done make sure that you are targetting chrome dev cause as of Chrome 70, TWA is not supported.
