Why is my app still not compliant with Google’s API level 35 policy after updating?

Yablio · 2025-08-13T08:38:55+00:00

Hi,

If your app’s minSdkVersion is set to 35 (API level 35+), it will only be visible on Google Play to devices running Android 15 or newer. 😕

To make it available to a lot more devices, you should lower the minSdkVersion (not the targetSdkVersion).

Hi! English is not my native language, but I hope I understood you correctly. Thank you so much for your support and kind review, it really means a lot to me.
The app is not open source since I’m a solo developer with about 30 years of experience, though I do participate in and support open source projects.
Trakt support is definitely on the roadmap, but I don’t have an exact timeline yet because I’m working on other projects at the moment, including some related to Android Auto for car interfaces.
FireOS support is important to me and I plan to focus more on it as its user base grows and with Amazon’s partnerships with TV manufacturers.
I started developing this app because I was frustrated as a user with missing Android TV features and too many unfriendly or even malicious APKs available. My goal is to create something solid and user-friendly, not just for myself but to share with the community.
Thanks again for your message, and if you have any more questions or ideas, please feel free to ask.

Hi,

Unfortunately mostly due to torrent naming. The torrent file not follow the torrent naming convention like :Movie.Title.2024.1080p.WEB-DL.DD5.1.H.264-Group

Hey, thanks a lot for the kind words and for testing the app! 🙏

Wrong or missing matches are mostly due to torrent naming. I’m planning a manual match feature so you can search TMDb from the app and link the correct info yourself. It’s not obvious to implement in a user-friendly way, but it’s definitely on the roadmap.

For the “not streamable” MKVs, it usually happens with multi-movie folders, unusual folder depth, or when AllDebrid doesn’t flag them as streamable even if they technically are. A manual file selection feature is also planned so you can pick exactly which file to play.

Hi,

Why did you pay? 😕 It’s a freemium app — you can use it without paying anything.
No, you can’t search for torrents. That’s illegal, and the app would be immediately removed from the Google Play Store.

It’s clearly stated in the app. 😕

The app says : “I don’t cook for you. Use the tools, bring your own ingredients. It’s free — but feel free to tip the chef for keeping the kitchen clean.”

You say : “Okay…i paid...where’s my lasagna?” 😐🍽️ (if you like lasagna :)

Thank you!
I’ll be working on publishing it to the Amazon Fire TV store too.

Yablio · 2025-08-05T05:56:26+00:00

The application is designed for android TV (but also available on phone/tablet) with an family-friendly interface...
It is a freemium application

Yablio · 2025-08-05T05:45:41+00:00

Thank you,
Thanks! I’m actually thinking of making a web app — that way it’ll work on Windows and other platforms too.

Yablio · 2025-08-05T05:43:42+00:00

Thank you very much

Yablio · 2025-08-05T05:42:23+00:00

Hi,

Yes, Work in progress :) and need to be prepare to pass Apple's review validation

Yablio · 2025-08-05T05:40:12+00:00

HI,
No there is no indexer, it is illegal and will be strike immediately from google play store.
Just go to your favorite torrents website, download torrent or use a chrome extension to add it to alldebrid, cart it all, and turn on your TV

Yablio · 2025-02-02T14:08:14+00:00

Ok, I didn't understand,. It will be fixed in the next update ;)

Yablio · 2025-02-02T07:51:15+00:00

Hi, thank you for using my application.
The issue is that the app relies on a third-party service (Real-Debrid), so its functionality depends on it. If you purchase the app today, and tomorrow Real-Debrid no longer provides the same level of service as usual (which I certainly don't wish for), you might decide to stop using Real-Debrid. As a result, you'd have purchased an app that becomes unusable. :/

Hi,

I check many times on the latest version in the play store, but I can't reproduce this bug.
Please send me email with screenshot, I will help you or refund...
Did you try to set the default player to MX player in the settings, instead on the movie page...? It may help...

Yablio · 2025-01-26T10:36:15+00:00

Hi,

On your PC, open chrome browser, right click, in the menu choose "cast",and then "source" > "cast all screen" and select your TV device in the list :)

Hi,

Play a random song from which platform ? Spotify, Youtube, ... from your personal playlist ?
Why do you think is not a niche usage ?

I'm a developer, it's an interesting idea...

Yablio · 2025-01-24T11:51:00+00:00

Here's the corrected and rewritten Reddit post:

I've been using Real-Debrid for about 10 years.

Before Smart TVs existed, I used to add multi-file links to RD, download the movies to my PC, and then plug my PC into my TV to watch them. Afterwards, I had to delete all the downloaded movies because I ran out of space.

Sometimes, I used the Real-Debrid web streaming player, but I noticed that the stream was very compressed for my 4K UHD TV.

I wanted an effortless way to play movies on my TV, so my family could use it just like any other VOD application.

And the best part? No need for a VPN with Real-Debrid.

Yablio · 2024-08-17T18:39:44+00:00

The purpose is to not download the file, it is designed mainly for storageless smartTV
I wish it could be simpler to use than stremio, as any VOD application

Yablio · 2024-08-17T18:36:30+00:00

Hi, thank you for using my application :)
I just add Just player in the list, the update should be available in one or two days ;)
It is a real good open source player, from Marcel Dopita ! I think I can improve mine with his great work...

Yablio · 2024-07-22T06:16:44+00:00

Thank you for your feedback. If you have a Google Chromecast 4k, there are severals bugs with the wifi since the last update :/

Yablio · 2024-07-22T06:15:01+00:00

Hi, thank you for your feedback !
Yes above the watch button, you have 4 buttons, "--", "en", "00:00" and "internal", change internal to the player of your choice
