Apps Android Market publishing problems

[neo187]

Hello all

I am a bit baffled by the Android Market behaviour. So I have just uploaded this small app that I have been working on. 24 hours later it is still not showing in the search if I use my phone's Android Market app.

It doesn't show either if you search on the website, I can only reach it using the exact link. And if I do, when I click on Install all I get is the message "There are no phones associated to this account"...

So I am basically completely unable to download it to test if everything works fine...

Is this a normal behaviour? Is there any way that I can download the app onto my phone from the website on my PC?

Thanks

Right so my phone does appear now after ensuring that I was logged on the site with the same account as the one in my phone's Accounts section.... However it says that my phone is not compatible for download?? After having developed the app with it?? So bizarre...

Hi,

Are you sure you specified supported screens in your android manifest file?

For example:
<supports-screens
android:resizeable="true"
android:smallScreens="true"
android:normalScreens="true"
android:largeScreens="true" />

The apk run manually might have worked on your phone but after uploading to android market it wasn't listed as supported for particular device types.

You can also take a look in your developer console at supported devices list and check which devices are supported.

Thank you for your input there. That didn't seem to do the trick. I managed to find the game on the Market App of another phone with same screen resolution and same android version, so that's a good news that at least it is searchable... It's just weird that it is not searchable on my phone....
