Don't know if it's ok to ask this question here, but I didn't know where to ask it...
I have made an app with an ad from AdMob. It works just fine, showing up in the app and everything. The problem is when I want to link my app in the AdMob interface, my app is not showing when I search the market.
But I know that it's actually on the market because I can find it when searching on play.google.com.
This is what I want to do. It says Link your app!
Anyone else had this problem and know how to fix it?
Thanks!
It is this part that I have a problem with:
At the red arrow, where it says "Find your app in the search..." My app is not showing in the search result, but I know that it is on the market!
You need to wait a little bit more after publishing your app because AdMob indexes Play store and iTunes about every 48h.
My app took 2+ days to show up in Admob. Wait, it will show up.
If your app name is a bit too common (like mine was "memes") - I would recommend to search by developer name. Admob will try to list all apps of that developer.
Instead of APP name if you provide Developer name ,then it will show of list all APPs by the developer.Then select your required APP [which was not listed when searched].
Enjoy !!!!
I've been able to resolve it today by pasting the full AppStore URL to that search field.
If your App is published and available in the US region, this should probably work. Note that it may take up to 24 hours for the app to be visible on AppStore after releasing.
Make sure you publish the app for release. If your app is still in Beta it will not show up.
If you face issue linking your app and it takes more than 2 weeks you can contact google adMob team on google groups
Group name : Google Mobile Ads SDK Developers
Make sure you post your app details on the above group. My app was pending for 55 days and once I raised they have added my app in 24 hours.
I have to contacted the Google Mobile Ads SDK Developers group and they quickly fixed the issue for me. Now everything works!
Tip: If you didn't find your app by the name, try the following options:
the app's AppStore URL, for example: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/spotify-discover-new-music/id324684580
the app's store ID, for example: id324684580
the publisher name, for example: Spotify Ltd.
I had the same issue. I tried searching using the App Name, it did not show. I also tried entering the full App store url and it did not work either. So to resolve it, I did this:
Went to App Store Connect -> General -> App Information -> View on App Store
Copied only the last 2 part of the URL https://apps.apple.com/us/app/COPIED_THE_REST_FROM_HERE.
Went to AdMob and pasted the section of the URL that looks something like this: spotify-discover-new-music/id324684580.
After that it worked. If the App was just released, please wait atleast 24 hours so the App listing in the store is updated.

I had my app re-enabled after 30 days suspension. But the ads didn't get served even after months. Then I noticed that my app in AdMob console had no Icon to it, only the app name. I checked the 'App settings' and there it says 'Not linked to Google Play'. So, I click edit and searched for my app, but it says 'added' when I find my app.
So, I thought it might be because of this that I am no longer receiving ads? And what could be the problem of 'Not linked to Google Play'.
This might not be related to app suspension. You have to link your Google Play and Google Ads accounts. Refer below link for more details.
https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/6068602?hl=en
1st of all check Policy Center in AdMob, and make sure your app does not have any pending issues.
Also adding app-ads.txt file and linking it properly to your app could help.
If you don't have any problem, just wait. it may take up to 1 month for the icon to appear again, this related to the way AdMob fetches data from Google Play store.
Note: also if your app is not available on all countries (Especially US) the icon could never appear again.
The name of my App is Gestión Escáner. I search "Gestión Escáner" (without quotes) and I see a lot of apps less mine. I have another app in published and if I go into it in the store I can access to the creator (Me) and then see my 2 apps (Gestión Horario and Gestión Escáner) witch I couldn't find in the searcher.
Is ridiculous that I search my app by it name and I found nothing. I published the app 2 days ago and in the web page Google says that the publishing take as maximum 24 hours.
My app is published, it can be checked in the Google Play Console, and in the Google Play Store (if you know how to exactly search it).
There is a Google failure or something? I can't reach understand why I cannot find my App by its name.
I want to specify that there no exists another application with the same name as mine.
Thanks a lot for the help.
The time of 4 to 24 hours is the time to get app published.
After the app has been published, it needs to be indexed by google to be visible in the search. Also, the search results also depend upon the ASO(App Store Optimization). Sometimes, you can't see your app even with the full name without that. Make sure your Title/Description convey the idea.

I uploaded a new version of my app of the google play store, now I can't find it there using any of the following methods:
Searching for its name.
Searching by its package.
Seaching on my pc and on my device.
The apps by the same developer its doesn't show in that list.
On the console it says published, and even can click the link to view in google store, and I do see it there. Buts its not in any of the searchs above?
Why is this?
Thanks
UPDATE - I don't have an answer to this. I have the link for the app on the store, but any search doesn't work, not on a device and not on a pc. I have waited over 2 weeks, and its still not there. Also, its not showing with the other apps I made, from the same developer. Thanks!
The answer is that the app was only distributed to one country. Now I selected all countries, its shows up in the search.
The most likely reason is that the update is still in progress. An app listing can sometimes take a few hours to work it's way through the submission process and out to all of the Google servers.
Also, if you changed any of the device requirements (which may be implied by the permissions requested), it could exclude your device(s) from seeing the app. The easiest way to check for this is to do the Google Play search via a web browser. If any/all your devices are excluded, the listing will say so near the top of the page.
I had same issue. I think in my case I didn't choose option "Contains ads: Yes, it has ads" in my play console afrer updating app with added ads.
To change that in Play Console go to your app; then "Store presence"->"Pricing & distribution" and choose "Yes, it has ads" in "Contains ads" section. In my case it helped immidiately, now I can find app by some keywords.
I released my first android app yesterday, and got the direct link to the app working after 6 hours. But Its been > 24 hours now, and it still doesnt show up in the search on playstore.
I have been searching in the playstore both from my android device, as well as from desktop browser. The app simply isnt there.
Is this common? Is there something I can do to check the status/find out whats happening?
Thanks a lot
EDIT: the direct link is: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.droidinput
EDIT: The issue was indeed that the name "Droid Input" was too general. Changed it to Moused . Hopefully it makes it a tad better once the update is pushed to prod. Thanks for all your help!
Sometimes newly published apps take time until they appear in search results. The app needs to be indexed in the Play Store before it starts appearing in search results. Also, make sure the app name has enough unique keywords so that it's easier to spot while searching.
All my apps were searchable minutes after the direct link started working. Can you post the name of your app.
Check those in Developer console
published area
minimal Android os
make sure it's published in developer console
If it's all right, don't worry, just wait to published
If your app have any problem google will send email to you
First of all,
you must check if you have no other updates,
second check if the website is not under going several changes if so than you might have to wait a couple of days
check your device for any out of the normal activity
if this is not resolved make sure to contact the company and explain them your issue,
regularly it shouldn't be happening to only you so there might be others with the same issue as you, it is unlikely that it could be your device but there is always that possibility that it might.
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.
