Android - "application is available to over 0 devices"

Hi guys,

What is the max number of devices we can target with Air on Android, is 426 correct?

I made my first app, this is what i get on the android market dev portal:

This application is only available to devices with these features, as defined in your application manifest.

Screen layouts: SMALL NORMAL LARGE XLARGE

Required device features
android.hardware.touchscreen

This application is available to over 426 devices

android.hardware.touchscreen, this is this  always present i guess?

Here is a snippet of my XML

<manifestAdditions><![CDATA[<manifest android:installLocation="auto">

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.DISABLE_KEYGUARD" />

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />

    <application>

        <activity android:name="com.google.ads.AdActivity" android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation" />

    </application>

</manifest>]]></manifestAdditions>

To see if i am filtering at all, i uploaded a new test app with no permissions needed (not published, maybe this is why?)  i see:

"This application is available to over 0  devices"

No worries, just want to know if i am limiting my # users at all, (first timer!)

...Also, is the package name always going to start with air.xxx  ?

thank!

I was confused about this too. You need to click to the APK Files tab (while viewing your application profile in https://market.android.com/publish/Home) and click "activate". After that, you will see the full list of devices on the "product details" tab when you click "show devices".

It seems that Android market is automatically adding "air." as a prefix to the app identifier, because I noticed that too.

Also, it took several hours before my app started appearing in the market. It's possible that they are starting to review apps a little more than they used to.

With AIR SDK 3.0 my APK file was 18mb, but I did try out AIR SDK 3.1 with the beta version of Flash Builder 4.6 and I think it was half that size. They say that this will be released by December 1st, so I'm hopeful.

Try my app at http://booktroupe.com which has links to mobile App Stores.

thanks,

I just noticed the air. prefix is shown in flashIDE publish settings.

It took many hours for mine to show up on the market also.

This is my first experience, but the market seems a little funny to me.

when you search for the app, it shows up in the list as 3 reviews, no stars.

when you click on it, it shows 4 reviews, 5 stars

Its been over 48 hours now, I see 50+ downloads in my account, however the market still shows 0+

...it was at 1, then went back to zero? weird.

I'm sure it will all update in time, but it seems a little inconsistent.

I'm excited to hear the new SDK compiles smaller. Is that size difference you noticed with or without captive runtime?
