Two days ago I've published my app on Google Play as a beta testing version and I've added a group of testers for it. They are able to opt-in but the app is still not visible in Google Play app and from the web I can see that there are a lot of wrong information associated with it.
Current Version: Varies with device
What does this mean?
Requires Android: 1.6 and up
This is wrong as we used
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="16" android:targetSdkVersion="17" />
in the manifest and
target=android-16
in project.properties
Size: Varies with device
How can I specify this info?
Moreover the google play web interface still says that this app is incompatible with the device I used to develop it! (Nexus 7).
What am I doing wrong?
Publish an app update Standard publishing: Updates to existing apps are processed and published as soon as possible. By default, your app will use standard publishing. Certain apps may be subject to extended reviews, which may result in review times of up to seven days or longer in exceptional cases.
If you can't find your app on some Android devices, it's possible that those devices aren't supported or are excluded by your app. Learn how to review your app's device compatibility and excluded devices. Also, make sure that the Android devices you're using are supported for use with Google Play.
A developer dashboard is essential to launching an Android app on Google Play store. Fill in credentials like your name, country, etc., and wait 48 hours for approval.
I solved the compatibility problem with my Nexus 7.
It seems to be a bug in Google Play about supported screen sizes and about camera permission.
This is what I added:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera" android:required="false" />
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera.autofocus" android:required="false"/>
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.usb.host" android:required="false" />
