Hello,
I have a problem with publishing application on google play. The application works without problems on your smartphone and tablet vertically and horizontally. However, google requires that before the publication of errors be fixed. Can someone explain what the problem is?

Here is link to my apk file Link removed by Chris Ward
Sorry but I have removed your link to an APK - that is not allowed on the forum for security reasons. You can if you wish upload your project file.
So you are saying that your own APK testing does not reveal the problem reported by Google Play? Have you tested on a range of devices and a range of Android versions?
Are you using any extensions? They may be out of date.
Are you using Activity Starter? The function syntax may be out of date.
Hello Chris,
I'm using Activity Starters with action "android.intent.action.VIEW" to open urls. I uploaded app to gallery, it's name "gwinty_metryczne_zwykle". Google says that the problem appears on the device Motorola Moto Z Droid

Android 7.0 (SDK 24)

It would really help if you provided a screenshot of your relevant blocks, so we can see what you are trying to do, and where the problem may be.
To get an image of your blocks, right click in the Blocks Editor and select "Download Blocks as Image". You might want to use an image editor to crop etc. if required. Then post it here in the community.
That's a lot of buttons Not a part of the issue, but your App might benefit from using a single List View instead.
We can't convert the language of an image, so it's difficult for us to follow the logic of your Blocks. However, although you are setting ActivityStarter DataUri, I cannot see where you are setting ActivityStarter Action, which in this case should be:
"android.intent.action.VIEW"
In general, the purpose of the application is that after clicking on the button with the thread size, the following values will be returned: diameter, thread pitch, diameter of the drill bit and outline height. Depending on the selection of the thread, one or two buttons (btnReczne, btnMaszynowe) appear for the threading die taps with which the thread can be made. ActivityStarters was dropped on screen.
Ad. 1 Could you explain me how to do that? I was based on this example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SpFRFbwRu8 Do you mean to put "android.intent.action.VIEW" in the block and not in the "actions" field like here?
Ad. 2 Component "Web" is empty, I forgotten to delete it. I want use activity starter to redirect the user to filtered products (thread taps) in the online store.
Ad. 3 I'll work on it
It uses a ListPicker instead of all the Thread buttons
Block List holds the data (editable). This data has been extracted from your Project. It includes the visibility of btnMaszynowe and btnReczne
The Activity Starter now works.
If the Activity Fails, a Notifier is popped-up
Try it via the Companion on your Smart Phone as-is before modifying it if you require. I don't think the Google Issue is specific to the test device they mentioned, your Activity Starter was simply missing the action field.
Don't forget to fix your icon image - else that will be the next thing to fail with Google.
The application that you have changed is much simpler but ... the url should depend on the choice of the thread size. For example, you have permanently assigned the url to the thread taps that will make the M3 thread. It should be that when I choose M8 thread, there should be a link to M8 thread taps (of course, I will generate this manually from the store). The links connected to the buttons should be changeable. And so I am grateful for the help.
I must have misinterpreted the intent there - lost in language translation. You can add the Url to the Blocks List of thread attributes and give the Activity Starter the URL via List Name and Index, just as the other values work.
Note, the following is not a text file, it's an HTML table. Rename it to .html to view in your Browser (easier to check than the App Inventor Blocks). List_ThreadAtributes .txt (24.6 KB)
Taifun.
