I changed my app listing screenshots on the Chrome Web Store Developer Dashboard but the listing has not changed, even worse, it kept the links to the old screenshots and none of them was found (404 status codes).
This is the listing and you can see the 'not found' pictures: Listing on G Suite Marketplace.
Anyone can help please?
Make sure to follow the image size guidelines for screenshots:
Screenshots
You must provide at least one screenshot of your application and you can provide >up to a maximum of five screenshots.
If your app supports multiple locales, you can provide locale-specific
screenshots. Your screenshot should have square corners and no padding
(full bleed).
Screenshots should be 1280x800 pixels in size. If necessary,
screenshots 640x400 pixels in size can be used.
Please note that some images are taken from the Chrome Web Store listing while others are taken from the Cloud Console's Google Apps Marketplace SDK.
As mentioned a comment. Meanwhile I opened a ticket with the support. They sent me a couple of mails. After a day the pictures were propagated to G Suite Marketplace listing. I don't know if it was solved in response to my ticket or if it just need time but it is still an issue because the pictures were invisible for a whole day. I'm not changing them anytime soon though.

I have put some images in basic cards and in lists in Actions on google app.The problem is some of those images only appear in simulator and not on the real device.
I have tried resizing and scaling the image to those which are showing but that doesn't make any change.Some of those images which are of high quality than others appear on the real device.I don't know why this is happening.I have tested on 2 real devices both of them have the same problem.Can someone please help me?
Are you on the google 'Spark' plan.
If so you cannot access images referenced outside of google storage.
You need a paid plan to access non google url's.
I have some sample projects and my images live in
https://console.firebase.google.com/project/<Your Project ID>/storage/<Your Project ID>.appspot.com/files
The images stored in this location are rendered with no issue.

Thanks everyone for providing your help,I actually found out the answer.Some of my urls contained whitespace which was handled by simulator but not the phones.So I changed the urls and now it works.
Recently, I received a 5-star rating for one of my android app but the problem is I can't view it / reply it in my developer console.
Replying on it, fetches me this message:
It happened with me some time back also when someone from Canada reviewed my Yoga app but Google filtered it. I researched this issue that time also but Google didn't responded well on it as to why this happens when you have enabled those countries.
Why does Google don't rank my apps Up if my app gets good ranking but it immediately pulls down my app if I get even one 1-star/2-star rankings. Why is google partial about it. I'm not happy with this. :(
Can anybody give a detailed explanation to this or what are some unexplored Developer Console hacks, that we still don't know?
It is because of their auto filter. Sometimes they will delete your review, then you can't view it in your console. It only happens with positive ratings (they assume that people won't fake negative reviews by default). You can try to edit your review or delete it then review again, then you can view it in your console :)
Hi DJI SDK developer team. My team and I requested a few times such needed information.
Please help us and include following meta to next SDK builds:
We need to know series of shots for Timelapse shooting, AEB shooting. So in our grid of taken photos, we can group them as one item.
Also, we want to show Rocket, Helix, Boomerang, Asteroid, etc. icons on our files grid too.
P.S. Now we already have DJI Pro membership, but the button for support doesn't work.
Thank you for the feedback. I've send this to the proper channel.
The best way to send feature requests or report issues is to email dev#dji.com or use the support through the User Center in developer.dji.com.
I have an app on google play over 5000000 downloads. And 20000+ downloads every day. When the designer changed the app icon to new good one ,the daily download decreased from 20000+ to 5000- . I don't think it's not good icon. I think may be there is a marketing strategy after icon changing google play changed app position on google play. Any idea about this?
Old Icon
New Icon
It is hard to pin down an exact reason. Maybe it was too similar to another app icon or simply new users didn't like it as much.
You can run A/B tests in the store listings, it's a hidden menu. Click Store Listing and beneath that, you should see experiments. You can run up to 4 icons (for example) and see which gets more downloads. This also works with the promotional video, screenshots, short app listing and full app listing.
There are a lot of customization choices as well.
I would make a few iterations of the logo, with different elements removed. I think the new one is a little too busy. try removing the phone on the left and right and see how users respond.

Run A/B tests on your store listing
Increase installs with Store Listing Experiments
I think that the main reason is people knew the product. If they start looking for it now, they see something that they don't know as it has changed and will not download it as fast as before.
If everyone is used to the icon, your downloads will increase.
There is no ranking part that depends on the icon, so as I know.
I think there are 3 possible reasons:
1) Google dropped your app in the list because at the time you changed the icon, there where other apps added in this category. This made google to re-place and orden the apps. As your app was there longer and had a minor change, it was ranked as "old & going down", so it lost the confident place in the list.
2)Because of the new icon, people are not finding it as quick or they think the new icon is an actual scam version of your app, so they aren't downloading it anymore.
3)Your app simply got less popular. You got pretty much downloads, the rate was high. Maybe you reached all the people that needed this app and there are minus people wanting it.
Anyways,
maybe the download count raises again and you just need to wait a little week. It is very unlikely, but it also could just be a error at Google's side.

Our app isn't showing up in the G Suite Marketplace search results whenever we search for it by name or via terms we know are in its description.
The direct link to our app's marketplace listing still works but it isn't showing up in the search results at all.
I've checked the manifest file and everything seems to be in order when I compared it to the sample here: https://developers.google.com/apps-marketplace/listing#resources_youll_need
Sidenote: I got in touch with Google Support via chat and even they couldn't point me to where exactly I should get help with this. Posting this here in hopes someone knows of a solution.
As I've read in this post, it appears the app is not allowed to be installed for non admin users so therefore the search results will not show the app. However, your app might take few minutes to several hours appear in search result. Check this Access Marketplace apps support page where it stated that "Most apps are available immediately after deployment. In some cases, there may be a delay of up to 24 hours before the application is displayed." Try to check on the next day and see if it works.
