I have a audio player app on playstore and wanted to add support for AndroidAuto. After making the required changes, when I uploaded my new apk to playstore it got rejected and received the following email from Play
When they say app did not appear on the screen, what does it mean? I have all the required entries in manifest, made my service browsable. I do not understand what is missing.
I am able to test the app on real android device and it's functioning as it should.
