Google Play does not show my application

Question

I read a lot of stackoverflow posts, and I also went through a lot of tutorials like Vogella and theNewBoston to find out where I am making a mistake when publishing my application. I exported a signed application of my package, created new apk and keystore. I believe that debuggable = false is not required to be set now. Eclipse does this automatically. I see that my developer console shows my application as published, however, when I try to search Google on my phone or PC, I cannot find my application. If only I use the package name to search for my application, I can find it. my application is designed only for small and regular screen phones, not tablets. I tried searching for the app using numerous phones with no luck. Attached here is my manifest. please tell me how to solve this problem.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="com.MyPackage" android:versionCode="2" android:versionName="1.1" > <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="11" android:targetSdkVersion="18" /> <!-- These 4 lines have been added by user ie me --> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" /> <uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES" /> <!-- The following two permissions are not required to use Google Maps Android API v2, but are recommended. added by me --> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" /> <permission android:name="com.MyPackage.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE" android:protectionLevel="signature"></permission> <supports-screens android:anyDensity="true" android:normalScreens="true" android:resizeable="true" android:smallScreens="true" /> <uses-feature android:glEsVersion="0x00020000" android:required="true" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CALL_PHONE" /> <application android:allowBackup="true" android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher" android:label="@string/app_name" android:theme="@style/AppTheme" > <activity android:name="com.MyPackage.SplashScreen" android:label="@string/app_name" android:screenOrientation="portrait" > <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> </intent-filter> </activity> <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY" android:value="API Key" /> </application> </manifest> 

Answer 1

It took me almost a couple of days for my application to appear. Just a quick note, if you cannot find your application in the game store, try putting that name in double quotes, for example, “Park The Car” or “Guru Guru”, and then search in it. Even when the Play Store started showing my application, if I just search for the name of the application without double quotes, I could not find it. I saw almost 500 applications, and I still could not find my application. But when using double quotes, I got perfect string matching.

Hope this helps. Thanks so much for helping me in this matter.

Answer 2

Perhaps the application you are trying to search is not compatible with your device. That is why it does not appear on your device. However, when you look at the desktop, it is visible. This is because you are just browsing the application. If you log in to your Google account, then you will understand that when you click the install button (on the desktop) it will show you the devices associated with this account with their compatibility. Sometimes also some applications are region-specific and not visible (for the same reason)

Answer 3

Put your application name in your description. Not just the name of the place.

Answer 4

If this is your first post, you can do the following:

1. You must definitely publish success in Google Play Manager as 1.png
2. You can download this link before downloading. You must replace the package name https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=packagename and install it.
3. comment on your app in the Play Store with your Google Account

4. Search again and you will find it this time.

   Good luck.

Answer 5

Find my name for your package.

You will find it.

If your package name is com.MyPackage.

Search com.MyPackage in the Google Play search field.

It works pretty well.
