At first when we had not uploaded our app on samsung store, our application was working fine on samsung android devices. When application was uploaded and published on store with gaming category, application started launching as game with game booster and Screen UI became distorted (Screenshots attached). If I install the same application with different package name it works fine and also game booster is not there. I am sure it is something regarding game booster with react native applications.
Hi 9stacks,
Can you report this by creating a Developer Support Request? Samsung is very interested in improving the performance of Game Booster. If you don’t feel you are getting the proper attention please respond here and I’ll try to escalate the issue for you.

Hey Ron,
Thank you for quick reply, I have already created a ticket on Developer Support Request #33506

I was having the same problem and I resolved it by changing app.json package to something like
"android": { "package": "com.youruniquecompanyname.yourappname" },
Whenever I open my android app it triggers the game mode/game launcher on samsung galaxy s8. But the app isn’t a game. In a previous version the app used opengl and it seems like samsung treats an app as game if it uses opengl. I already removed the opengl code but samsung still treats the app as game. The strange thing is when I change the application-id the app launches normally. So, I think samsung stores the application-id as game somewhere. Anyone ever had a similar problem with samsung game launcher?
Sorry for the delay in responding. Long weekend for me.
Create a support request it seems this is not uncommon but each instance is a bit different. They should be able to assist you.

I think the store is aware of this but I will contact the team to make sure they are aware of it.
