Android auto APP not showing in pyshical device (is not listed in Android Auto app list) but works fine in DHU

I currently have an app on the Play Store and have created a version for Android Auto.
The Android Auto version works correctly on the DHU (Desktop Head Unit).
To test it on a real device (vehicle), I have created an Internal Test in Play Store, and in it, I have added the original app together with the Android auto bundle.
When I install it from the Play Store, the app does not appear in the list of available for Android Auto.
I suppose it has to do with the configuration of my "manifest" files, but I don't see where the error could be.
Has anyone had the same problem?

I have tested with and without <uses-permission and uses-feature in the Android Auto app, but ever the same result, no way to launch it in the car, because is not available in the android auto list.
Thanks in advance.

Can you add the contents of the automotive_app_desc.xml file? Also, you should declare the minimum Car App API level as a <meta-data> element in the manifest.

android app is not visible on playstore - android tv

I have an app on playstore which works fine on android phones. Now I have added support for Android TV as well and my app is approved by google as well. (I checked in play console ). But still I cannot view my app for installation in my TV playstore.
Here is my android manifest.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Your Leanback launcher intent-filter is wrong. Replace the ".action.ACTION_MAIN" with ".action.MAIN"
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LEANBACK_LAUNCHER" />

Android TV App not displaying in Google Play Store

Below is my manifest file, I have included all the necessary code as per the document but still the app is not displaying in the play store search. I searched using the appId for my Alpha build using my test account which i have included in the tester list.

I tried setting the android.software.leanback field to both true and false, but still not getting displayed

In your app manifest, you must declare that a touch screen is not required, as shown this example code; otherwise, your app won't appear in Google Play on TV devices.
<manifest>
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.touchscreen"
android:required="false" />
...
</manifest>

Getting "Default activity not found" even though setting correct intent filters

I'm trying to change my default activity in Android Studio. I have added the MAIN and LAUNCHER intent tags to VrMainActivity, removed the MAIN and LAUNCHER tags from MainActivity and still get a "Default Activity not found" error. I have also invalidated cache/restarted. Also no errors in the Merged Manifest section of the editor, totally stuck on what the problem is.
Here's my manifest file:

you need to use <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> to make any
activity as launcher .
Just replace <category android:name="com.google.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> to <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> inside your Manifest.

try to add this line:
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
in the <intent-filter> tag

Nfc not required in app(Google Play)

I have an application that may or may not work with NFC. I have added these lines to manifest:
<manifest ...>
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.nfc" android:required="false"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.NFC" />
</manifest>
When I search for the application in google play, the message continues: "Your device is not compatible with this version"
I have verified that the NFCAdapter is not null, I have requested the pertinent permissions directly in execution ... but that message continues to come out.

my problem is not a bad code. I waited for one to two days and the problem was solved. It is possible that google servers did not resolve the request well and took a little longer to update. I really do not know what the reason was but my app is already working :)
