android app published, but not found in google play

Question

I published my app at 14-04-2014 on playstore. But I didn't find it on playstore. And when I tried following solution to find that. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=yourpackagename and status of app is "published" and "in Prod"

Solution 1

You may have incorrect package name as your application is already published.

The package name is defined in your android manifest file as -

package="yourpackagename"

Make sure that for your application, it is defined as--

 package="vn.pp.block.minion"

Then you can use ---

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=vn.pp.block.minion

UPDATE:

If after confirmation you still believe that your application package name is correct when you use it to find at google play store then just use the following --

Google Play Android Developer TroubleShooter.

UPDATE:

If the troubleshooter can't help either then you can directly take help by letting them know about your issue. Just go to the below link to register the issue --

After submitting an app to the Play store, an app isn’t shown instantly in play store. It will take around max 24 hours to update in the play store, sometimes it will update soon like within an hour. So we have to check after some time like 2 or 3 hours it will update.

A reason for the delay: After submitting our apps, google play store authority verifies our app. So, this can take time for that. Google Play Store authority verify our app file for malware or adware file. So, for the sake of users, they take time for that.

Solution:

1) In addition to the time it takes for app updates to fully process, the Google Play app itself also caches app information, so maybe we seeing a cached version of your Google Play store.

Here's a trick to force Google Play to fetch the latest version of your app. Go to phone's settings and cleared the play stores cache. The Google Play app's cache should now be reset. Try finding your app again and see if it shows the latest version.

We can also take help from Google team: here is link for that

2) A final solution, Publishing the App with new version code and name.

Good Luck!

Solution 4

Without good number of downloads, the app won't be visible for its search terms or even its full name. However you can directly access the app by its unique URL at any time. Unique URL will be

"https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id="+packageName

Obviously I can click but it can't take me to your released app. Check my updated answer and use troubleshooter provided by Google Store itself.
