Hi !
I’m in the process of submitting my game on Google Play. My game works fine on my tablet (Samsung Nexus 10) when I install it via an “ES File explorer”). I’m able to install it, launch it, and play.
Once I’ve uploaded it in the Google Play Dev Console and publish it as an “Alpha Build Version”, after a while, it’s available in the Google Play Store. At this point, only the alpha testers are able to see the download page.
This is what’s inside my build.setting file :
android = { googlePlayGamesAppId = "XXXXX", versionCode = "14", versionName = "0.5", facebookAppId = "XXXXX", usesExpansionFile = true, usesPermissions = { "android.permission.INTERNET", "android.permission.VIBRATE", "com.android.vending.CHECK\_LICENSE", "android.permission.WRITE\_EXTERNAL\_STORAGE" }, },
But this is where I can’t download my game : it says “This app is incompatible with all of your devices” and it lists my Samsung Nexus 10.
It also says that this app needs permissions for PHOTOS / MEDIA / FILES permissions. Keep in mind that the app works perfectly fine if I install it via ES File Explorer.
I’ve made a lot of tests, and by removing all the permissions (and deactivating several stuff in the game), I’m able to upload a new alpha build but without any permission needed.
The build.settings file now looks like to that :
android = { googlePlayGamesAppId = "XXXX", versionCode = "16", versionName = "0.5", facebookAppId = "XXXX", usesExpansionFile = false, usesPermissions = { }, },
It says the app is still incompable with my device but this time, i’ve got this message :
“This app doesn’t require any permission”.
This makes sense, but what doesn’t make sense is that I’m still unable to download the app.
Any idea why ?
PS : I’m using the lastest public build (v2016.2830).
