Hi, the apps are both versions of Torque. I have found the visibility problem however - someone has changed the market system to exclude apps with the Bluetooth permission for Android 1.6 devices.
This behaviour is in my opinion wrong, because I might have added support for bluetooth in my app (for 2.0+ devices) but it must also work in 1.5/1.6 as the 'bluetooth' option in my app may be simply grayed out (This is not in the case of Torque however). Adding the uses bluetooth permission should not *now* hide the app from the market when the previous incarnation of the market allowed it to be visible, even if it was 'incorrect'. For 1.5/1.6 devices that permission simply should not matter at all. This is almost a case for a kind of '<requires-capabilities>' (I currently do not know if this exists or is coming, correct me if I am wrong) as I may have an app designed for ALL versions of android, where bluetooth is a nice feature, but is not a *required* feature and I may have coded for that scenario. Anyway, it seems that: <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH"> now hides apps for 1.5/1.6 devices whereby before the market upgrade, it didn't. (This is now a problem for me) Thanks Ian. On Jun 10, 7:19 am, Scott STEPHEN - Better Contacts <[email protected]> wrote: > Ian, > > What apps ?
