Almost published on Cortex - Need help with one more thing...

Hi, I sent an apk to Razer.

They won't publish because of this:

"We noticed one major critical flaw. When installed on the Forge TV, the game appears on the APP row, not the Game row. All games must have the proper game INTENT set in the APK manifest. Please address this issue and resubmit."

Is there a way to do this with the current OUYA or Android TV object?

I feel like I'm getting closer with it now, though

Thanks.

Of course.

The game already runs just like it should on the Forge TV.

I think they're being a little unfair because Bloo Kid 2 turns up on the app row too and doesn't even have a proper icon, yet that game's available on the Cortex store.

I know because I bought it!

Really hoping to get something published on Android seeing as the OUYA console is no longer supported.

Thanks.

I've been nagging Fernando a lot recently, I hope he doesn't get sick of me.

He's guided me through control movement using both OUYA and Android TV objects, and he's been helping me set up the Fire TV object.

Hopefully the 'game row' thing is something that could be added for the Forge TV object when it comes out.

Hi Fernando,

I used Android TV for this build, but my games install on the apps row when I use the OUYA object, too.

My games show up on my Cortex account page really nice with the feature tile and everything.

Hopefully this intent/manifest is something that can be supported with Fusion?

Thanks again!

It's a little confusing as to whether I should class it as an OUYA game or not?

Thanks

Hi, I sent the email they gave me via private message.

I think they've updated their requirements:

"1.2 [REQUIRED] Submitted games have the appropriate intent filter set in the manifest (App or Game)
Like above, games or apps may appear outside the Cortex environment. We require that the game icon appears in the proper row. If a game appears in the app row it will fail review, likewise if an app appears in the game row."

Thanks for the advice regarding Android TV object.

I'm going to try what you said, and also submit another game with the OUYA object and see if they still reject.

Sorry, one other thing I'm noticing, on the Cortex game submission page, I keep checking "Razer Forge TV" but when I go back to edit, it goes back to "OUYA" only. I had an earlier rejection because of this too. Please login to see this attachment.

I'm guessing this is because I checked "OUYA Application" in the project's properties box.

Problem is, if I didn't, the APK won't upload to Cortex? "Apk error: Could not find res/drawable-xhdpi*/ouya_icon.png"

Hi, I'm just waiting to hear if my game gets accepted on Cortex for Forge...

Will let you know if I'm able to publish.

If it works, I'll definitely post a tutorial.

No news yet, I’ll keep checking but they’re taking a bit longer with submissions now, even though there are fewer!

I submitted my latest test last week using the Android TV object extension that’s sold separately.
If that gets published though, I’ll have another go with the OUYA object and let you know how that goes. Been rejected like 5 times now. Lol.

With the latest Clickteam updates my games are fully functional, it’s just that they’re just turning up on the wrong row and getting rejected for it.

As I say, Bloo Kid 2 shows up in apps and somehow that’s allowed! wut?

I’m targeting Lollipop API (23?) and everything’s building great!

I hope Razer publishing can be done 'cause I feel that the Forge needs some SRR, Monocle Man and of course, Khaki Combat! lol.

Thank you so much for all your help, Fernando!

Khaki Combat is published on Razer Forge TV! Please login to see this link.

Like all my games, It's free to download.

I'm sorry I can't help Rosse with how IPAs or selling games will work but I do know for certain that the Android TV Object works great with the Forge!

Tutorial coming soon
