App not found by Tables

[luke2012]

Hi to all,
I have published an app that I tested on my Galaxy Tab2 10,1".

When I open the Play Store and search for my app I cannot find it!

Which is the reason ?
My manifest or the libraries that I used (see files attached) ?

You should check the contents of AndroidManifest.xml.

See this thread: How to edit Manifest such that tablet without a phone will be listed as'"supported"

My Manifest

AddManifestText(
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS" />
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="4"/>
<supports-screens android:largeScreens="true" 
    android:normalScreens="true" 
    android:smallScreens="true" 
    android:anyDensity="true"/>)
SetApplicationAttribute(android:icon, "@drawable/icon")
SetApplicationAttribute(android:label, "$LABEL$")
AddApplicationText(<activity android:name="anywheresoftware.b4a.objects.preferenceactivity"/>)

I saw the suggested post.

In my Manifest I not have ""android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" and "android.permission.SEND_SMS".

If I add the statement that you suggested in the post :

AddManifestText(<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.telephony" android:required="false"/>)

Could be some problems about this code ?

Dim p As PhoneId
lc.Initialize("lc", p.GetDeviceId, publicKey, "kljdflkf".GetBytes("UTF8"))

After you compile your app, there is a "show permissions list" button. It will show you all the permissions that are required for your app.
The READ_PHONE_STATE will be there if you are using PhoneId.

Could be some problems about this code ?

Yes. You can however use a Try / Catch block to catch the error.

Thanks for the reply.

The READ_PHONE_STATE is not mandatory permission for my app but I'm using the license manager that require it.

So my question is :

My app will be compatible only with device that have the phone hardware?

Note that the license manager doesn't really require it. You can use a different id.

You can keep this permission and add the uses-feature described above. On tablets without a telephone the call to PhoneId.GetDeviceId will raise an error. You can catch this error.
