Hello everyone in the B4A community,
I'm developing an test app for Android Auto and I'm facing a few problem. My goal is to make the app viewable both on Android Auto and as a regular app on smartphones. Here is how I configured my manifest:
The installation is successful, and the application appears in "System > My applications" but not in the phone's launcher. Additionally, when I add a necessary intent-filter to the main activity for visibility in the launcher, I receive an "invalid package" error message.
Also, in both configurations, the application is not visible in the Android Auto launcher either.
Do you have any suggestions or solutions to resolve these issues? Examples of configurations that have worked for you would be much appreciated.
Thanks a lot for your help !
