yeah, i did it a couple of hours ago. Might it have something to do with the cerfitications?
" 1. Upload your certificate file and enter your password." I didnt get a file like this, so i didnt upload anything either.
But i didnt get a error message or anything, everything seemed to go smooth just that i cannot see the watch-face anywhere. Its not an app only the watchface
Hi, Iâve noticed that some of my watch faces have started to appear when using search in the Play Store, finally (itâs been a few days since they passed review).
The issue is, theyâre visible under the âWatchâ category, but when I select additional âWatch faceâ search category they disappear from the list. Iâve placed each in âPersonalizationâ category, with additional âWatch faceâ category when submitting them, so this shouldnât be an issue.
Have others encountered this, and is it just another one of those issues that get sorted over time, or is there something Iâm missing?
Thanks!
I have always been able to search and find my watch faces from the day they were published.
If I go to play store then hit search for MW I get the option to choose Watch and even Watch Faces then I get the results of my faces.
The issue is when you go direct to the category Apps-Categories-Watch faces
You are presented with 9 or so faces in each of the sub categories Health and Fitness / Classic / Gallery / Artistic etc. I want to know how we get listed in these sub cats i was told its by downloads and algorithms google used.
Yeah you are right, but my experience with Play Store, it is part of âfeaturedâ section, and the list is defined by them (based on popular/sales/download). Not automatically generated by the downloads like on the Galaxy Store.
Has anyone had an actual sale so far on Play Store? Just 1 sale?
I just want to try to figure out if I am missing something, if people cannot find it, or they could not be bothered with searching for it through a browser.
Nope. The watchfaces are not easy to find. There are a lot of wf with In AP purchase. I canât do this with my faces. So if no one knows the exact name of the wf or of the seller, we have nearly no Chance to sell anything.
Welcome to the Play Store It is not like Galaxy Store which exposes new watch faces and clear ranking. You will need to constantly promote your product and build the brand so many users will search your brand. It is a search-based store, just like Google.
Someone reported last week that all their GW4 watch faces were suspended after being approved. It may be that the .aap and .apk issue is not resolved. If you still have an issue this week open a new topic on this and I will take it up with the review team to see if they have a reason.
Here is a review i got from an unsatisfied customer from a country that Google has suspended activity there but they can redeem coupons, but it seems he doesnât know about the bug when downloading the watch with a coupon and when i tried to explain him and even gave him a link with the video from youtube that Samsung made about how to install the watch face for wear OS.
Review: Watchmaker is a scammer! Selling a watch face that canât be installed! Where can I download the installation apk file? Not through Google Play Market! Give me a link, thief!
Every few hours he will delete his review and post a new one with demands and being rude while blaming me that he cannot install the watch face that he got for free.
I have removed the country from my watch faces, i donât have a problem with the normal people of that country i can understand what the majority is going through since i have relatives leaving there. But this is not a political site nor itâs my place to decide what is wrong or right. But user complaints with no base by being rude and since there is nothing i could do solve the problem facing in the store, forced me to remove it.
The problem with coupons will be that they will just use them anyway and every coupon will be going to waste since they will not be able to download the watch face.
Weâre very empathetic with whatâs going on in the world, but this is a technical forum. If you want to discuss the broader political issues, there are plenty of places to do so. Iâm asking that everyone refrain from making or responding to divisive political statements on these forums.
I know there are issues with platforms allowing negative reviews in retaliation for supporting or opposing the conflict. If this appears to be happening on your products on Galaxy Store, please let us know by emailing to support@samsungdevelopers.com and weâll work with the Galaxy Store team to have them reviewed and possibly removed.
