Android TV App isn't opening

[playtvgo]

I want to open android tv app when casting from sender app , but it always opening the web receiver . I followed this codelab Cast Connect with ATV App and this codelab for Cast-enable an Android app , After that

• I added my Chromecast as testing device in cast console

• Signed the ATV app

  • Installed in tv box and tried to cast from the sender app , but it opens the web receiver not the ATV app Sender AndroidManifest.xml

ReceiverOptionProver class is the vanilla codelab's option provider. What have I done wrong and how to fix this .. Thanks in Advance

Hi,

Have you gone through our Android TV receiver troubleshooting guide? https://developers.google.com/cast/docs/android_tv_receiver/troubleshooting

To confirm, you are not using a LaunchRequestChecker for your Android TV app? Are you seeing any errors such as APP_NOT_INSTALLED_BY_WHITELISTED_INSTALLER or INSTALLER_NOT_WHITELISTED?

[nipunkraj]

I am also facing the same issue and i logcat i am seeing App failed to launch. Error: APP_NOT_INSTALLED_BY_WHITELISTED_INSTALLER 2022-04-29 15:46:59.190 4572-4572/? E/cr_CastToNative: Warg launch failed (INSTALLER_NOT_WHITELISTED).

But i have already registered the cast serial no..
