My app is not showing in google play [closed]

Question

I uploaded my app to google-play about 18 hours ago, but it is not showing up. Developer console is saying "Published". I guess it should be viewable at url https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.khasbuu.firstaid but it gives me 404 error. What am I doing wrong?

My manifest file:

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.khasbuu.firstaid"
android:versionCode="3"
android:versionName="1.1" >

<uses-sdk
    android:minSdkVersion="4"
    android:targetSdkVersion="9" />

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SEND_SMS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS" />

<application
    android:icon="@drawable/app_icon"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Light.NoTitleBar" >
    <receiver android:name=".mongolcontent.SMSRemover" >
        <intent-filter android:priority="1">
            <action android:name="android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED" />
        </intent-filter>
    </receiver>

    <activity
        android:name=".FirstAidActivity"
        android:label="@string/app_name" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
    <activity android:name=".ShowChapterActivity" >
        <intent-filter>
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
    <activity android:name=".ShowContactActivity" >
        <intent-filter>
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
    <activity android:name=".DonationActivity" >
        <intent-filter>
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
    <activity android:name=".LikeActivity" >
        <intent-filter>
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>

    <provider
        android:name=".providers.FirstAidProvider"
        android:authorities="com.khasbuu.firstaid" >
    </provider>
</application>

</manifest>

Answer 1

Check the Developer Console homepage; ensure that it says "Published" at the right (this is the same in both designs). If it says this, and all your fields are valid (as in, if you edit it, and hit Save, no errors are shown), you may just have to wait longer. My apps are usually pushed within 2 hours, but I've heard reports of it taking up to 23 hours. I think it just has to do with Google's server traffic (how many apps are waiting to be processed), and other factors as such. It's worth noting that the process is entirely automated once you hit Publish.

Answer 2

I had a similar problem with my app. I could find it by the .apk file name without .apk but couldn't find it by the name in the title field. This was OK with this since it wasn't really ready for prime-time anyway. By version 2.0 I was ready for a bigger audience so this was no longer acceptable.

The solution was to have somebody download it to their phone and give it a 4 star or higher review. It was then searchable by title in Google Play within an hour.

It didn't have any reviews before that so a lower review might have worked also...

Answer 3

Are you fetching contacts from user phone ? This is violating Google play agreement if you are fetching user contact without knowing user .I think this is the problem in your case

Answer 4

As Eric said check whether you have moved your application to "Production", in pricing and distribution check whether you have selected countries, be careful about device compatibility and check whether you have excluded devices mistakenly, finally write app title and description related to your app properly.
