Published app not showing in Play Store on Chromebook devices - google-play

We have published an education app on Google Play Store. It shows in Play Store but not on any Chromebook devices. We tried every Chromebook-specific setting in Unity as well as in the custom manifest file. Here is the published app manifest, can anyone help out with what we are missing that is making it incompatible with Chromebook devices? NOTE: We sideloaded the APK file on the actual Chromebook device and it's working fine.

.Net Maui unable to deploy on Android Emulator Using Visual Studio for Mac Preview 17.4

I'm building a cross platform line of business app on .Net Maui. Everything was working (mostly) fine(ish) until today when I updated the .net core sdk from version 6.0.400-preview.22330.6 to 6.0.400. To my knowledge that is the only thing I have changed.
Now any time I attempt to debug the app, the build succeeds however VS for Mac displays an error message after "Deploying to Device". The Error message is: "Cannot execute "Users/xxxx/src/Mobile/bin/Debug/net6.0-android/Mobile.dll
I can't tell what is causing it. It appears like the all the steps succeed in the "Deploying to Device" window. Zero Errors and Zero warnings.
I have noticed that most of the targets are skipped because "all output files are up-to-date with respect to the input files". Thusly, I have cleaned both from the command line and in VS for Mac with no luck.
Finally, I can run the application in the emulator if I use the command:
dotnet build -t:Run -f:net6.0-android
UPDATE:
I pulled up the VS for Mac Logs and found this:
ERROR [2022-08-15 15:48:19Z]: Error loading android manifest '/Users/xxxx/src/Mobile/obj/Debug/net6.0-android/android/AndroidManifest.xml'

So for some reason it appears to be linked to the android manifest not being available in the obj folder. I did check the folder and the manifest is indeed in that location. However, I'm not certain if its a race condition or something that makes the file not there at the time the tooling attempts to load the manifest.
UPDATE 2:
I created a new app just to see if there was something wrong with my current app. Same issue. As requested here is the app manifest located in the obj/Debug/net6.0-android folder of the project. I'm not certain this matters or not, but there is not an app manifest in the bin/Debug/net6.0-android folder.

Xamarin.Android Exception with FCM & Parse

I'm able to implement Firebase Notifications and send notifications to the client from the Firebase console successfully. The problem arises when I'm using the Parse SDK to send the notification via the Parse Dashboard. I'm using Xamarin.Android, and the documentation isn't quite there with Native Android with FCM & Parse. I noticed when sending the notification via the Parse Dashboard, I get the following exception on the client:
Java.Lang.RuntimeException: Unable to instantiate service com.parse.fcm.ParseFirebaseMessagingService: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Didn't find class
When the parse documentation tells me to implement the following manifest below:

Wondering if I'm missing anything to get Xamarin.Android + Parse SDK + FCM working. Thanks.

Can anyone help me?
I've got the same issue (in my case using App Center Push SDK).
The issue was solved by avoiding uppercase on first letter of application/package name.
The first thing I will try to modify uses-permission tag:
<permission android: name = "com.companyname.progettocomputergraphics.MAPS_RECEIVE" android: ProtectionLevel = "signature" />
In my case I had to use
<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY" android:value="AIzaSyBFdb7p_3FTSQWX-sfOniZmQrsBHnM0Bu.."/>
in manifest

You can manually search
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.lockerz.compare
replace org.lockerz.compare with your package name and try opening the link
