Hi @andreban @PEConn, first I want to thank you for the code.
I published 28 TWAs more than 80 days ago, success! no errors for now on Google Play.
It so happens that for now Google Search has only indexed the first TWA in the search, Bing and Yahoo have already indexed them all.
Even having made the association in Google Search Console, the Android app filter does not appear for tracking and the first TWA has already been indexed since last year.

I thought it was the number of lines in assetlinks.json but I saw that there are sites with more lines and all apps indexed.
I'm finding it strange because Yahoo and Bing have already indexed and Google Search only one.

Can you help me? do i need to do some implementation so that TWAS are indexed in Google Search too?
I posted the question on the Google Search Console forum but so far no answer.
I opened a call on Google Play but I didn't get help either.

Stats of the Top 10 TWAs on Google Play:

TWA1 | Installation audience:437 | Google Play Note: 4 |
TWA2 | Installation audience:264 | Google Play Note: not yet rated |
TWA3 | Installation audience:171 | Google Play Note: not yet rated |
TWA4 | Installation audience:149 | Google Play Note: 5 |
TWA5 | Installation audience:136 | Google Play Note: 4 |
TWA6 | Installation audience: 42 | Google Play Note: 5 |
TWA7 | Installation audience: 40 | Google Play Note: not yet rated |
TWA8 | Installation audience: 22 | Google Play Note: 4 |
TWA9 | Installation audience: 23 | Google Play Note: not yet rated |
TWA10 | Installation audience: 20 | Google Play Note: 5 |

I received the following response from Google Play:

"Unfortunately, our team's assistance is only limited for supporting developers on Google Play Console. Kindly reach out to Search Console Help to assist you with your concern on the indexing of your app."

For now, I'm understanding that while I've managed to deploy multiple TWAs for the same domain, only the first TWA is indexed in Google search

Note: I tested all TWAs using this tool ( https://developers.google.com/digital-asset-links/tools/generator ) and the result turned green with the following message:
Success! Host www.xxxxxx.net grants app deep linking to xxxx.xxxx.xxx.net.xxxx.
