Help please - my app not visible in searches after 2 months and 1200+ downloads
Play Console shows that the store listing has had 22,905 visitors, of which only 1 (one!) came from a Play Store Search.
I've researched this extensively and most comments say 'it takes time' and 'your app must have more downloads and ratings than competitors'. However, it's been nearly two months since I first published it and there are between 5 and 15 apps with zero reviews and fewer downloads in all the relevant searches, so it would be reasonable to expect it to appear above at least one ...

IAP help
I’m developing a android/ios mobile game app. So far so good I know how and what to do but the main question is all my apps I normally monitize with ads.
But for this app I will include a couple of small micro-transaction IAP. But I’m not using a server the game will be a “local storage” game I’m not scared of people hacking the game because I know the target audience I’m chasing are not the kind to “cheat”. But let’s say someone buys IAP and they don’t receive the item am I responsible for it o...

Google Payments
Hello, I recently noticed an invoice on my payments profile that only shows $0.90 (attached below). Throughout the month I made a little above $144 and was wondering why only 0.90 is being sent.

uninstalling Android Studio side effects
I need to uninstall Android Studio to see if that fixes a problem but I wonder what happens if I remove settings too? I exported them to eventually reload them but upon uninstalling confirmation it says it can potentially delete keystore files, but mine are saved in individual projects directories, i guess they should not be touched by uninstallation right?...

How to prove that I am the owner of my apps on Google Play?
Hi everyone! I have multiple applications published on Google Play, and I recently discovered that many third-party stores are copying and distributing my applications without any notification to me (the owner). I would like to send DMCA takedown requests to the stores I don't want to see my apps in, but as an individual hobby developer, I don't know how I should certify my ownership of my apps. Any ideas?...

How do you usually work on implementing a new feature?
I am currently engaged in Android development at a small company which lacks the ability to provide a detailed and strict workflow in everyday work. After receiving a feature request, I make a rough thinking and start programming without a comprehensive design or discussing with others about the technical details.
So, my questions are:
What steps are involved in your work to implement a feature?
Do you need to write a tech document and start a meeting to discuss it?...

Mixture of IAB Play Store and Stripe
Sorry in advance if this is asked often, I researched a bit on SO and Reddit .
It is clear, that for subscriptions of services consumed in the app itself, we must use play store IAB and not anything else. We have 2 subscriptions, both of them are actually for a group membership of a family, but only one person needs to purchase, this is base subscription A.
Furthermore, we have a subscription B which also uses some custom hardware, which we deliver with to an address given in the stripe check...

Are there any downsides of Network Inspector in Android Studio?
I've used Proximan at work for all things related to network requests but I'm thinking of starting to use the network inspection in Android Studio since it allows me to have more than 1 mock simultaneously, which Proximan doesn't.

Background Noise Removal in realtime
Hello,
Can anyone suggest what techniques are used to remove background noise (like traffic, chattering, other city noises) from a microphone input and isolate human speech?
I'm aware of various python libraries that can do that but I'm wondering if there's something that can be done in Kotlin itself to reduce latency in the Android app.
My use case is like this:
Record audio -> Isolate human speech -> Amplify the isolated speech -> Deliver it with minimum latency...

Wrong region ratings shown in Google search results.
We have an app that is targeted towards Singapore and Malaysia users and it is useless for any other countries. However, we still released the app worldwide. It has a decent rating of 4.5 in Singapore but a low rating of 3.3 in United States (probably because the app is not helpful to them).
When searching for our app name in Google search, for strange reason, Google playstore of the United States region will be shown in the results, with the low 3.3 score. This gives a wrong impression that t...

When an upstream throws an exception, the retryWhen function will not retry until the user clicks on the button, and that is what I want. However, after the user clicks on the button, the retries will automatically be called without waiting for the user to click, because the await function is completed. The question is, how can I, when completing the CompletableDeferred,...
