Hi,

I thought I read everything about how to write my manifest, but apparently I missed something.

My manifest is:

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="..."
    android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="1.0" >

    <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="12" />

    <application
        android:icon="@drawable/icon"
        android:label="@string/app_name" >
        ....
    </application>

    <uses-feature
        android:name="com.google.android.tv"
        android:required="true" />
    <uses-feature
        android:name="android.hardware.touchscreen"
        android:required="false" />

</manifest>

But the developer console tells me:

This application is only available to devices with these features, as defined in your application manifest.
Screen layouts: SMALL NORMAL LARGE XLARGE
Screen densities:
Required device features
This application is available to over 0 devices.

And of course I don't find it on my Revue.
What did I do wrong?

Thanks

Hi jonas,

Could you please send us package name? My developer console is showing Sony Internet TV Asura and one more device . Logitech revue may take a while to appear in the developer console as it released last week.

Thanks!

Hi Bhavya,

Thanks for your answer.

It apparently took more time than usual to really see on on the market.
I now see "This application is available to over 2 devices." and see it on my Revue!

My next question was: How do I show the app only for the Revue?
You answered me by telling me that Asura is the Sony TV.

Thanks!
Jonas

Jonas,

You should be able to manually exclude devices from "Device Availability" window.
Yes, Asura is Sony TV :)

Thanks!

For the record, excluding "unknown(ka)" hides the app from the Revue.

Thanks

Can someone from Google confirm "unknown(ka)" is actually the Revue?

Yes. "ka" is Revue and "Asura" is Sony.


Thanks!
