Re: [android-developers] New app doesnt show in Google Play

and, to finalize: this is a bug in Google Play. the behavior of all stores should be the same, and if a declaration is invalid, there should be some way to find out (like some specific error message in dev. environment or console) other than trial and error

yeah, I can see it now, too. So, to summarize:

a tablet app with only one decl like this:

 <supports-screens android:requiresSmallestWidthDp="600"/>

will NOT be visible in the on-device Play app, but it WILL be visible and installable in the web store.

an app with this:

<supports-screens android:smallScreens="false"/>
<supports-screens android:normalScreens="false"/>
<supports-screens android:largeScreens="true"/>
<supports-screens android:xlargeScreens="true"/>
<supports-screens  android:requiresSmallestWidthDp="600"/>

will also not be visible on-device

BUT with THIS:

<supports-screens
        android:smallScreens="false"
        android:normalScreens="false"
        android:largeScreens="true"
        android:xlargeScreens="true"
        android:requiresSmallestWidthDp="600"/>

it is visible in all stores.

What a wonderful day this was..

thanks everyone

I can see your app now.

That change seems to have worked.

Thanks.

just changed that and uploaded. Now the number of compatible devices has been REDUCED from 1204 to 315, but they're all tablets, so this may be ok. The change to that element seems to have triggered SOMETHING. If this was it (we'll see in a moment when the upload is visible), then I am P*O* to say the least. NO validation in either the development environment or the Play Developer Console. The element looked exactly like the uses-permission, which works with one tag per attribute..

First thing first, you should go to the console and check your app settings. It will also tell you what devices are being filtered and why... 

thats  what I did. All my devices (currently, a Nexus 7 and Nexus 10) show up in the compatibility list. BUT the app doesn't show up when searched from either device.

Looks like your <supports-screen> declaration is invalid, I'm pretty sure there should only be single support-screen tag with all attributes listed (see: http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens-distribution.html#FilteringTabletApps), maybe this somehow confuses Play filtering?
