I need to bring this issue (not seeing copyprotected apps in the market) up again. GOOGLE please give us an update when to expect this issue fixed!!! You are keeping loyal and honest customers from their leglay bought applications away and hinder us to spend more money on the market!!! This hurts your developers! Its been more than a month than this issue came up with the launch of the Milestone in europe. In the UK the problem was fixed within days but the unlocked phones are still waiting. What is the problem???

The problem of some Milestone devices not seeing copy protected apps is one we continue to work on addressing. We are working with the OEM to resolve the root cause. > You guys are funny. Android Market on HTC Tattoo does not show > applications that do not implicitly declare that they support its > screen. It definitely has nothing to do with CAMERA permission or > whatsoever This is false. As previously stated, *if* the app requires the android.permission.CAMERA manifest, it *must* state that it does not require autofocus in in order to show on Tattoo. This is because the camera permission, if granted, implies access to an autofocus camera. The request must be modified to not require autofocus with . Admittedly this is not as developer- friendly as it could be, its the result of a lack of foresight in our original design. A separate issue is that apps that do not explicitly support sdkVersion 4 or above will not be shown to Tattoo because it contains a "small" screen. "small" screen devices did not exist before Android 1.6 (sdkVersion 4) and apps may break when shrunk to fit the smaller screen. Apps declaring support for sdkVersion 4 or above will be assumed to support small screens, unless stated otherwise in the element.

[android-developers] Re: How to test if app is shown on Market for all screensizes
You guys are funny. Android Market on HTC Tattoo does not show applications that do not implicitly declare that they support its screen. It definitely has nothing to do with CAMERA permission or whatsoever. I do agree that Google could post some clear explanations what exactly Android Market takes into account when he decides that application should not show up (I'm pretty sure that it's a server side of Android Market who makes these decisions). And it has nothing to do with device vendor since it just includes Android Market in their firmwares. Please stop blaming phone vendors. Google is the only one to blame for Android Market behavior.

Hi Justin, Thank you for your reply. You are the any Google employee facing this problem in any forum or group. I am also affected by this restricted market access. As already mentioned in the community, this concerns all the Milestones bought on Amazon in Germany and AFAIK all milestones in the UK. If you are addressing this problem, could you please make Google to state so publicly in order to avoid any confusion. I don't care if this problem is temporal. Some people are just concerned about it being permanent and thus returning their devices. Thank you very much. > The issue with Milestone not seeing copy protected apps is completely > separate.

[android-developers] Re: How to test if app is shown on Market for all screensizes
I think this thread really highlights the standing need for some kind of market visibility tool for developers. Of course, a desktop client for everyone would be nice, which would allow you to filter apps based on device type. But at the very least developers *really* need some way of checking visibility of their apps on various configurations, other than asking "Hey, if you've got a Tattoo, can you see if my app is visible?" -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

Dear Justin, I am one of the affected milestone users and I am far from alone. At least all of the milestones sold by amazon, Germany are affected! Milestones branded by Vodafone or O2, Germany are working perfectly. I know it is unusual for the USA but in Europe it is quite common to buy phones WITHOUT an carrier-contract. Those phones are NOT branded by Vodafone or others and they are simlock-free! Exactly those phones have no access to copy protected apps in the market. Our guess at the moment is that google missed those configuration and handles them as illegal (rootet) phones... are we right with this assumption??? But our phones are 110% legal with plain Motorola configuration right from the factory! It is not only that we can not bu or download any new copy protected apps. User who bought such an app on another Adnroid phone and now got themselves a new Milestone can not access their legaly bought apps anymore!!! Google need to react here really quick. We are honest users and your loyal fanbase! All of the affected phones have the following ORIGINAL Motorola setup: Modellnummer : Milestone Firmware-Version : 2.0 Firmware-Konfigurationsversion : GAS_EMEA_USASHLS00RTDACH_P001 Baseband-Version: 3GDMEPU91A_U_91.08.0DP Baseband-Konfigurationsversion : UCASHLSEMEAB1B803F.0R Kernel-Version : 2.6.29-omap1 a21...@ca25rhe53 #1 Build-Nummer : SHOLS_U2_01.03.1.125764182 PLEASE HELP US! best regards Christian On 1 Dez., 22:32, "Justin (Google Employee)" wrote: > The issue with Milestone not seeing copy protected apps is completely > separate.

[android-developers] Re: How to test if app is shown on Market for all screensizes
Hi, thanks for participating in this thread, Justin! I have gathered that here in Germany we have Milestones sold by Vodafone for their network and free Milestones usable in any network. Currently, from what I read in the forums, those from Vodafone are able to see copy protected apps, others are not. If you need more details from one of the phones not able to see protected apps, let me know. Ralf On 2 Dez., 00:20, blindfold wrote: > Argh, thanks!

[android-developers] Re: How to test if app is shown on Market for all screensizes
Argh, thanks! I now found the small print in the documentation that implies this, and have added to my manifest such that as of now my app should be visible to HTC Tattoo users (I have no Tattoo myself). My app sometimes uses autofocus but also works without, so autofocus support by the phone is not required by my app and was apparently inadvertently implied by the new Android defaults. It would be nice to have some sort of Market visibility test for a range of popular devices, because it is easy to overlook such details and hard to test for without buying tons of devices...

[android-developers] Re: How to test if app is shown on Market for all screensizes
To return to the original topic of apps with the CAMERA permission not showing to Tattoo users, this is because you need to specify in your manifest as per http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-feature-element.html . Tattoo does not include autofocus unlike all previous Android devices. For this reason, you need to opt-in to being shown to devices without autofocus. Likewise you can use uses-feature to specify that you require autofocus. The issue with Milestone not seeing copy protected apps is completely separate. There may be some Milestone configurations that Market doesn't know about yet and as they are foreign Market assumes they may be unsafe to show copy protected apps to. We'll look into this. If posters can respond with what carriers the users seeing issues are on, that would be helpful.

Thus far there seem to be 2 separate patterns: apps can be invisible on the Market for Droid and Milestone when copy protection is on, OR apps can be invisible on the Market for HTC Tattoo when the CAMERA permission is used.

Same with me. App uses Camera, but is not copy protected. supports-screens entries in manifest are there and "true". minSDK=3 targetSDK=4 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Re: How to test if app is shown on Market for all screensizes
Now that the new Motorola Milestone Phones came out in Germany (aka Droid in the US) we, too, are facing the problem of users not seeing our application in the market. Our settings: No CAMERA-permission. Copy-Protection active. The customer is using the standard Milestone ROM. He doesn't see our application (GeOrg) in the market, while his partner does with an older phone. We already have some Droid-users, who succesfully installed our application, so I really cannot see that it's caused by our manifest... I mean, aren't Milestone and Droid kind of twins? Any help would be very much appreciated.

[android-developers] Re: How to test if app is shown on Market for all screensizes
It really looks like CAMERA permission in the manifest causing the apps not to appear in the Android Market on Tattoo. Our test app shows up in the Android Market if we remove the CAMERA permission from the manifest. It does not show up if we add the permission. (in both attempts the copy protection was disabled).

Re: [android-developers] Re: How to test if app is shown on Market for all screensizes
Bumping this question Our app is receiving great attention at the moment, and it is really a shame that we cannot do anything to get it out to all Android owners. Please Google, this is a serious issue...We would love to see a solution to this? Any help is much appreciated... Cheers!

Same thing with me, I have copy protection turned off in Android Market. It would be good now to get some feedback from Google or HTC on whether it is a bug.

We haven't turned copy protection on for our app, and it is still not visible on HTC Tattoo/HTC Dragon. Please, Google is this a known issue?

[android-developers] Re: How to test if app is shown on Market for all screensizes
I noticed this problem when the new Droid Eris came out. At first, i started messing with minsdk and even lowered it to "2" but that didnt fix it, the apps didnt show up in the market. I ran through Verizon and Sprint stores for days to try to get this to work. I dont think Google people even know the problem exist. I am surprised that this problem hasnt been fixed for such a long time now. Anyway, the reason why you can 't see your app on HTC Hero/Eris or any other 1.5 phones is because you have copy protection set to "On". You can turn this off in your developer console when logged in to your Android Market account and editing your application description/title cheers!

[android-developers] Re: How to test if app is shown on Market for all screensizes
Thanks Phil! Indeed this is very strange. As I understand it, all Android 1.6 apps should by default be visible to HTC Tattoo on the Android Market, and use of the camera should not matter. I had even tested my app to show OK on a 240x320 screen using the emulator, and cannot think of anything else to correct. I was thinking of trying an empty element in case documentation is ambiguous, but even so it would not seem to make sense to have the CAMERA dependency. Hopefully HTC or Android developers (Romain?) will figure it out soon, because this kind of market fragmentation seems unnecessary.

Hi Blindfold, We were not able to find The vOICE for Android in the Market on the Tattoo. But we found it on the HTC Magic in the Market. Hope there will be a solution for this issue soon.

[android-developers] Re: How to test if app is shown on Market for all screensizes
OK, I didn't know that. My curiosity was triggered by Phil with the suggested role of the CAMERA permission in having apps be visible on the Market, which AFAIK should not have made any difference. Also, android:minSdkVersion="4" (Android 1.6) according to documentation implies that all screensizes are assumed supported: http://d.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html "If android:minSdkVersion or android:targetSdkVersion is "4" (Android 1.6) or higher, the default value for everything is true." So I expected that basically only visibility of (unadapted for screensize) Android 1.5 apps on the Market would be affected, without any role for "android.permission.CAMERA", and I would otherwise be surprised. BTW, lots of HTC Tattoo buyers seem annoyed, judging from http://androinica.com/2009/10/11/htc-tattoos-android-market-will-not-list-apps-that-dont-support-qvga-display-option-update/ where it is stated that even Google's own "Listen", "My Tracks" and "Sky Map" are (were?) not visible on Android Market for users of the HTC Tattoo.

Hi Blindfold, Sorry I dont have a HTC Tattoo to test :( Thats our problem...some users reported that they couldnt find our app on Market with their Tattoo. But we have no idea why? To Edward: HTC Tattoo has a camera, so that cannot be the reason our apps are not showing.

Wait, so people are reporting problems with the CAMERA permission? Let me guess, if you need that permission, then the app isn't shown to phones that don't have cameras? What if the app *can* use the camera, but doesn't *need* to use the camera. What if it runs just fine on devices without cameras. What if my app can use GPS, but runs ok without it? Network connectivity? This sounds pretty broken to me. Why not just let the user decide if they want the app or not? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

Re: [android-developers] Re: How to test if app is shown on Market for all screensizes
Our app use the following permissions: android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION - android.permission.INTERNET - android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION - android.permission.CAMERA - android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE - android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE But why should the camera permission make the app not show up on market on HTC Tattoo?

[android-developers] Re: How to test if app is shown on Market for all screensizes
Hi Phil, Search for seeingwithsound, and you should find The vOICe for Android camera app (I just double checked this search on my ADP1). One wild guess is that your "android.permission.SET_ORIENTATION" might play a role (I do not use it), because at least on HTC's G1/ADP1 there are orientation limitations in the camera preview, and perhaps HTC decided to become more picky about this for camera apps.

[android-developers] Re: How to test if app is shown on Market for all screensizes
Interesting. Did you try and find other camera applications on the Market with your HTC Tattoo? (I'm using "android.permission.CAMERA" and android:minSdkVersion="4" with my camera app, The vOICe for Android, but I do not know if it shows up on the Tattoo.)

Hi, we did some further testing and found out that the android.permission.CAMERA is the Problem in our case. We tried leaving it out and then the app was showing up in the market. Does anyone else have the same problem or can confirm that this is a problem. We hope for a fast solution or any tip how this can be solved as we need the CAMERA permission in our application. Any help is much appreciated. On Nov 13, 5:39 pm, phil wrote: > Hi, > > We have the same problem and tried some things to solve this.

Hi, We have the same problem and tried some things to solve this. We found out that with different Permissions set the app is visible in the market for the HTC Tattoo. Here all the permissions we set: We tried different combinations and left different Permissions out. The following worked fine: With the others we have problems.

Re: [android-developers] Re: How to test if app is shown on Market for all screensizes
Actually we first used: But that didnt work either :( We tried to manually install the app on a real Tattoo device, and it worked prefectly. But the app cannot be found on the market from that same device? What to do? :) If I understand correctly, the market only looks at the manifest to determine if the app is visible or not?

[android-developers] Re: How to test if app is shown on Market for all screensizes
I'd add a targetSdkVersion attribute with the highest level you've actually tested against, like this: In my experience, the lack of that attribute caused higher-SDK emulator images to be reluctant to run the app, so I could imagine that it might cause issues on real hardware as well. Doesn't entirely make sense, as SDK 4 (Donut/1.6) is now widespread on other handsets - which I'm assuming can see your app - but it doesn't hurt.

Re: [android-developers] Re: How to test if app is shown on Market for all screensizes
As if it's not enough to have to manage the manifest, but HTC has a bit of a habit of releasing phones that cannot see some apps. Examples include the HTC Hero when it was released in Europe, and the HTC Eris recently released in the USA. I'd like to know if those phones you mention can see our app (PhoneMyPC) as well. Anybody have an idea how to check that?
