Now that the new Motorola Milestone Phones came out in Germany (aka Droid in the US) we, too, are facing the problem of users not seeing our application in the market.
Our settings: <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="3" /> <supports-screens android:smallScreens="true" android:normalScreens="true" android:largeScreens="true" android:anyDensity="false" /> No CAMERA-permission. Copy-Protection active. The customer is using the standard Milestone ROM. He doesn't see our application (GeOrg) in the market, while his partner does with an older phone. We already have some Droid-users, who succesfully installed our application, so I really cannot see that it's caused by our manifest... I mean, aren't Milestone and Droid kind of twins? Any help would be very much appreciated.
