We have just public app to google store, but we have an issue, we can't search app base on app's name.
We just found apps if we search base on package name.

Is there anyone know what happen?
Thanks
As per my suggestion there may be the following problems
- When you have publish the app I think you have selected some specific country name. So, other than those country it will not be viewable.
- Checked AndroidManifest.xml permission ,from which device you have been searched may be it's not match with your device configuration and screen sizes also.
- Please also check Pricing & Distribution column on Google Play Store.
As per mu assumption first point for you.

I explain my problem.
Current situation
We are delivering an application that must be released for 2 separated country, in details i have 2 myApp.apk (package name "com.my.app") built and signing with the same key but both have some hardcoded javascript configurations that are different (not in the manifest but only in the app code).
Build system
We are building with the phonegap service so i haven't the full control on the manifest created.
Goal
Publish the apk diversificate for country visibility.
eg. italian users can see the app "MyApp" which has an IT sever configuration wrote in the code and swiss users can see them app called with the same name but that contains different configuration.
What we tried
In the play console i tried to add another app project calling it with a different name (with the same package name of the previous one just published) but when i finish the upload google said me that currently an application with the name "com.my.app" already exist
Question
Is exist a way to diversificate the second application based on the delivery country?
Thanks in advance
You cannot have two apps with the same package name targeted on country. This answer gives a good explanation on why.
So you have two options:
Release your app with two different package names, eg com.myapp.it and com.myapp.de
Have your app change configuration based on country using something like Firebase Remote Config
Which answer will be best depends on the use case. For your use case, the second option sounds best.
Is it possible to check if a name is available without choosing it ?
Since I am developing for android, wp8, and iOS at the same time, I wanted to check that the name is available on all three stores first ?
You cant check app name is available to you without entering it, Specially for iOS and WP8.
In android, You may choose same name of app if other developer has published already but package name should be different.
For iOS and WP8, if someone have already created app with that name and not released yet then you cant able to choose same name. And to check this scenario, you need to login in respective store's developer account and check name is available or not by filling required details.
I hope it may help you.
I have a requirement where I need my app to displayed when searched by 2 different names.
Example: Facebook App can be search with facebook and face book (with white space).
But i have not found any reference to such a filter on the google play console.
// Try this way,hope this will help you...
- Make sure your most important keyword is included in the app title.
- Google Play doesn’t let you submit keywords in the same way iOS does, so you need to include them in the text of your app description.
Well,I have a big problem because I put an android app on the market that is searcheble by this URL:
"https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=simple.notification.app1" and it does work but when I m going to Google Play and I search "Simple Notifications" the name of the app there is not my app published it passed more than 2 days and I dont know waht to do please help.I have tried everythin.
It shows up as the first result for me if you search Simple Notification.app1 - You may need to rename or reconfigure your meta data relating to the upload, it seems to be searchable only via direct name right now.
Your app is on the market, but it's probably far down on the list. It will move up depending on its popularity and downloads. Give it time.
I just published my first app on the market today and put my name under developer name instead of my company name which is what it should be. I then updated the developer name to be my company name but the change does not appear to get updated.
Does anyone know when can I expect to see the name change?
Looking at a previous posted question it toke "some time" but it will be changed in all applications.

If you're viewing the application profile from your phone, the Market application caches a lot of stuff about viewed profiles.
You can stop/kill or clear the cache of your Android Market app in your phone and see if the name change is reflected.

it's appear on your simulator correctly most probably cause simulator is looking at the american servers .. while the computer look at your country server :)
