Android Auto: App not showing up in launcher settings #109

Bug Summary

Hi, First of all, thank you very much for your work on this app! It's really great. I've moved to this app from Vinyl since that one wasn't actively developed anymore.

Now, for the bug: You recently added support for Android Auto, which I was really looking forward to. However, after installing the latest dev/preview version I still couldn't find the app in my Android Auto launcher settings...

I'm not sure if this is a bug or whether it's on my end. I have a Samsung Galaxy A40, running Android 11 and the latest Samsung firmware.

Version

1.1-dev2

Steps to reproduce the bug

  1. Install latest version
  2. Go to Android Auto settings
  3. Click on "Setup launcher" button
  4. Find that Phonograph Plus Preview is not in the list.

Sorry, I am not sure what the problem is. Auto obviously doesn't detect this as an automotive application successfully. This is very tricky, because I have no idea how to fix this.

It might take days or months, or even years (~Phonograph Plus might not get there~) to get the problem fixed.

Thank you! It detected.

Wait a moment. Can you enter the Developer Mode of Auto?

Wait a moment. Can you enter the Developer Mode of Auto?

  • Click Android Auto's version multiple times to enter Developer Mode.
  • Go to Developer Settings in menu
  • Click the second last one: Unknown Source
  • Check Launcher Settings again

Yes, now it works! Thank you!

Well, it is because Phonograph Plus is an Unknown Source application (Well, looks like that only applications installed by Google Play can be Known Source). So, besides using third-party installers which faking the source to Google Play, there is no way to fix such problems. (~Or you can distribute your app to Google Play~, but Phonograph Plus has never such plan).

By the way, it seems that Developer Mode can be turned off once Unknown Sources are allowed (This doesn't turn off along with Developer Mode).

Please do not close this issue.

There should (and would) be a TroubleShooting or FAQ or something. Util these are finished, this issue should not be closed.
