I published my first app to play store, but it cannot be found by name ( HOP! ).
it can only be found if i search it by my name and then put the app's name (HOP! teemu ilomäki).
link - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.TeemuIlomaki.HOP
It has been a week now, and what i seen people say is that it takes only a couple hours to show up. The app is available in every country and every device. If you have answer please tell me.
This happened to me as well, and it's complitely normal, because there are many apps on Google Play, so your app does not display even if you search for it, especially if there are many like that. It will display if you eventually get some downloads or promote it by paying, so that when searching that type of app it will be displayed before others who will have less downloads and rating than yours (or won't be promoted).
Hope this helped! :)

I want to know, if I can in play console, use a company name instead of my real name, because, on the store, it displays my name next to my app, which I don't think looks good. So can I just change it to a company name? for example X corporation Is there something i need to keep in mind?
I know it's not a code related question, but I've searched for hours on google, and couldn't find anything useful.
Please help.
If you go to the main page of the console (before you choose your app) and select Developer Page, the top option is Developer Name. I expect changing that will do what you want?
It should not.
I have done recently for changing developer name to my company, then google terminated my account and removed apps from play store.
Google Play on Jan/2022
You can find out it on the Developer page.
yesterday I created a simple "quote of the day" script for my google site. The script reads the quote from a google sheet. I also wanted each quote to go
with a companion image, which I host in my google drive (the image Ids also are stored in the sheet).
I followed the instructions explained here, and everything seemed to work fine. The permissions for the images was "everyone with the link within my institution" (this is supposed to work in a website on the google apps for education).
It was a success, because the images did display correctly.
Today I opened that page again, and the images have disappeared.
I know that image hosting was discontinued in 2016, but I think it was a different way of hosting (no permalink). Indeed, as I mention, yesterday I could see the images in the website.
Also, when I write the "permalink" in chrome address bar I get "403. That’s an error. We're sorry, but you do not have access to this page. That’s all we know." This happens despite I'm the owner of the file, and I'm logged in the correct google account. Also, it happens irrespective of the browser and/or machine I use (I tried with my phone too).
I also tried what explained here, although I'm not sure I understand that completely. There should be a problem though, because instead of the image I get the alt text (NA).
Is the "permalink" method still supposed to work?
Could this be a problem of excessive traffic? I haven't even published the page yet, I only did some testing...
What is the best way of displaying images from google drive into google sites, without resorting to third party services?
Thanks a lot

You already answered your question. Hosting on Google Drive has been stopped.
However, you can try the workaround from this SO post where you'll use the URL:
https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id={IMAGE_FILE_ID}
It worked fine when use with the <img src="{IMAGE_URL}"> HTML tag. That's the closest thing to what you're trying to do.
You can also try Firebase Storage where you host your images on the cloud and display them on your web page.
This is at least a partial answer to the problem I tried to explain, which I'm summarizing below:
I was hosting images for a page in my google site on my google drive, via the syntax
https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id={IMAGE_FILE_ID}
the sharing settings of the individual images was "anyone with the link within [my institution]";
this worked for one single day and then stopped working: the images stopped showing, and I could not figure out why. All this happenened a few days ago (oct 21-22 2017), and hence cannot possibly have to do with google discontinuing a previous service, which happened in 2016;
this happened despite I was logged into the account in my institution (and hence the owner of the images).
I found out that the problem appears to be in the sharing settings. Apparently, the images only display if their sharing settings are "public on the web" or "anyone with the link". Instead "anyone with the link within [my institution]", or more restrictive settings won't work. The first settings were mentioned in the webpage I linked, but I thought it would also work with "anyone with the link within [my institution]" (and, for one day, it did).
I also tried by setting the permissions of the parent folder. In that case only "public on the web" would work. With anything more restrictive than that the images won't display.
Despite I carefully double checked all this, I think this permissions thing seems to be a bit erratic though.
As I mention, on the first day (oct 21) the images would display even with "anyone with the link within [my institution]. I could swear on my life that, before the systematic tests I just finished carrying out, all was working with the folder settings to "anyone with the link [within my institution]". Now that setting won't work.
I know, I said "it appears" a bunch of times. This is because all of this is just from my point of view, so far. I still have to share the link of the page I'm preparing. As soon as I can I'm going to ask a colleague to take a look at it.
What I anyway want is that the page displaying the images is visibile only to people within my institution, for the moment being.
However, now I'm at least able to see the images hosted in drive, in my website.
I have an app that I have out for external testing; I have submitted two (2) different versions without any problems. Now, I am trying to submit another new version (#3), but when filling out the Test Flight Information the "next" button is disabled, preventing me from adding the new version.
Any ideas on how to fix this? or what the problem is?
I've had the same problem and finally got it working. First I had to go into safari, Chrome didn't work. You have to fill out every field for every language you have. Every. Single. One.
Then the next button finally became active.
Also the app description has to be over 10 characters long.
I'm submitting a bug report to apple because whoever made this was an idiot.
This is the workaround:
go to TestFlight for your app using Safari.
enter all of the data for all of your supported languages; it doesn't have to be in the language (I used English for all of the languages, French, German, Japanese, etc). Just make sure you are mindful of the length restrictions!
Next button is then enabled! And you can continue on... :D
I filled out everything, but still no Continue button gets activated. For some languages email and url field will appear for some not. I think something is really badly programmed there

TestFlight Requires Export Compliance Information
All TestFlight builds now require Export Compliance information. To answer Export Compliance questions and upload any necessary documentation, visit the new Encryption section in Features. Once your documentation is approved, you will receive a key string value to add to your build's Info.plist. Learn more in Resources and Help
in short, if your application has not put that in your encryption info.plist, can also resolve:
<key>ITSAppUsesNonExemptEncryption</key><false/>
I just released one app yesterday. It's showing up in my country.
But I found out that it's not showing in some countries. How I can check that it's available in all the countries or not. What I need to do if I want to make int available in all the countries >
Depends on your app, maybe this helps. Otherwiese, have you read the localiaztion guidlines (like it is suggested by google to do so before releasing an app)? As far as I remember you are asked in the developer console in which country you want to rlease you app, but maybe this was only for payed apps.
Maybe this question is related to this one: This item isn't available in your country
quoting durbnpoisn answer:
Check your listing in the Developer control panel.
There is a listing for where the app is available (Pricing &
Distribution section - Manage Countries). The checkbox for whatever
country needs to be checked on. Otherwise, it's locked out.
For convenience, there is a box at the top that says "SELECT ALL
COUNTRIES".
For what it's worth, if the country in question is not on the list,
there is nothing you can do about that. There are a number of rules
and regulations about where Google Play can distribute stuff. You have
no control over that.
I have installed a fresh copy of Drupal 6 on an Xampp server. Within that install is a collection of modules for creating an event calendar. There's actually a great instructional video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qO4TeEydtMs for getting all the necessary fields up.
So far everything is working except... the events won't store the time as stated in the edit field. No matter what I do in the edit mode as admin or otherwise the time always says 12pm and the event on the calendar says "All Day".
I know this is pretty obscure but I figured why not try and ask. Thanks.
What Date module are you using for the event dates? Is there an "All Day" option that is accidentally selected?
(I would just put this in a comment... but I don't have enough reputation to comment on questions yet :) )
I had the same problem, the solution is to make sure your sitewide time settings are properly configured. You can find them under /admin/settings/date-time.
