I read many many posts on stackoverflow and I also went through many tutorials like Vogella and theNewBoston to see where am I making a mistake in publishing my app. I exported signed application of my package, created new apk and keystore. I believe that debuggable = false is not required to be set now. Eclipse automatically does that. I can see my developer console showing my app as published however when i try to search google play on either my phone or pc, i cannot find my app. If only i use package name to search for my app, i can find it. my app is developed only for small and normal screen phones and not for tablets. I tried searching the app using numerous phones with no luck. attached here is my manifest. please tell me how to go over this issue.
