I just developed my first game on Google Android. I'm trying to submit it the store. I paid my 25$ and went through all the steps.
When I'm at the part where I have to upload screenshots, I get this error:
Unable to parse response. If you have a browser extension or add-on
installed which changes the JSON response, please disable and refresh
this page.
I tried this on Chrome, Firefox, and IE. I don't have any extensions that would be doing any of this.
I've seen some other people post on Stackoverflow, but their posts (from what I could see) are from at last year... so is this a bug everyone is experiencing?
This is still a common issue

My solution was to wait until my account was confirmed.
Try uploading the app by Re-Creating the screenshots. Try creating the screenshot using DDMS.

I was regularly uploading apk files to google console's internal app sharing page. However today when I open the the same link i.e. https://play.google.com/console/u/0/internal-app-sharing it has gone blank. I have tried opening it from different browsers etc, nothing works. Is this a new bug or perhaps a downtime?
Same here. Browser dev console shows the app sharing tries to load some data, but can not find it. So someone just broke the code or google server are down. Hopefully not for long, but its already over 20 hours.
It works now, seems there was a temporary blip at their end.
I have implemented app indexing for the below app on play store 4 days before
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tcs.chicagomarathon2013&hl=en
I have followed all the steps till site verification and tested all my deep links and app URIs everything is working fine. But I am not able to see my app on Google search results.
Website linked : https://www.chicagomarathon.com
I have followed the same steps for other apps and they are working fine, any idea about this strange behavior or anything else I should do to make it working ?
Update
As requested
I have followed all the steps here
https://developers.google.com/app-indexing/android/app
My Manifest is perfectly find because all deep links are working like charm.
All app URIs added on webpages are tested with
https://developers.google.com/app-indexing/android/test
But Google Search results not showing the App anywhere linked with search result URLs.
You can view the source of webpages for app URIs for confirmation.
Could you provide more information about your implementation?
I suggest you to test your implementation using Fetch as Google (https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/6066468?hl=en).
Let me know if you find something new.
It seems that you have deep-link results working on your website. See the attached screenshot.
Remeber to install the application from Google Play (not over adb), log into Chrome with the same account and then you should see the results.
Please use Search Console to discover more improvements that could be done to improve your implementation.
Whenever I share the link to my Android game on facebook, it comes up as "Not found". This is a minor inconvenience, however this is also happening for everyone else, and stopping people from sharing links to my app (since they see it as it won't work, rather than just that facebook can't find the info).
I tried sharing a link to Angry Birds, andit works fine.
Steps to produce the error:
Copy URL for game listing https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co.uk.toiletboy.toiletboy
Paste into status box on facebook
Wait for it to get the info
Instead of the app name, it just says "Not found"
I feel like I should get this fixed as soon as I can - is there anything I can do in Google Play settings to get this sorted? Has anyone seen anything like thi before? Please help!
Edit: Worked out the solution myself, o have posted it below.
Okay, turns out this was pretty simple, although not immediately obvious. Facebook last scraped the Google Play website 4 days ago, and at that time, my app hadn't been published. hy they don't retry scraping a page when someone gives them a new URL, I don't know...
For anyone else facing this issue in future, facebook have a tool to "debug" your site, here: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/
You enter the URL, and get info on when it was last scraped, and what info / images they found. You also get the option to ask them the scrape it again, which I did, and this solved the issue.
Phew!
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 am trying to create a house-ad campaign for my Android application, but unfortunately encountered a problem while providing an URL.
Please find error message below:
There were problems with your submission.
Invalid or non-existent app url
What is strange... when I provide an address for any website (not linking to Google Play application), followed by http://, there is no problem at all!
Has anyone of you also encounter such a bug on AdMob website?
For your information, I have checked this behavior on Google Chrome, IE7 and Firefox - no change.
This may be possibly a duplicate of:
Admob - can't create any ads (admob wizard crappy?)
... but I have decided to find a solution in new thread.

Try using this link from the android developer page in the format:
http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=<package_name>
(do not include the < or >)
If that doesn't work or gives any errors then try:
market://details?id=package_name
source is here: http://developer.android.com/distribute/googleplay/promote/linking.html
EDIT: I just added one today (June 7, 2013) and no issues, used
market://details?id=com...
I found a fix. It is a crappy workaround, but if you use the web link you can get your ad working.
Use the https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id= url.
Then use http://goo.gl/ to create an short url. If you use this short url your url will be approved.
Only disadvantage is clicking the ad first opens the browser and then the Play store. I also posted this problem on the Google Admob Group so I hope there will be a fix soon. In the meanwhile the above solution will help showing houseads despite this issue.
Problem seems to be solved. I have received an e-mail from AdMob Publisher Support saying that the problem will be solved by the end of the week - it is solved the same day.
Now "market://..." link is accepted without any problems.
