I have an app in Google Play store, it worked well untill my last update. Now when a user downloads the new updated app from Google play, it installs correctly, but there is NO icon to be found anywhere and the app can't be launched. Also in Google play there is no OPEN button, only UNINSTALL. When I check my app list in my device, the app is there, but can't be launched.
The only thing what I have done there is - I added to manifest to intent-filter <data android:scheme="geo" />
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

</manifest>
and the second thing what I updated is my graddle file to ignore the split for language:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'io.fabric'
android {
compileSdkVersion 29
defaultConfig {
applicationId "***"
minSdkVersion 23
targetSdkVersion 29
versionCode 11
versionName "2.01"
ndk.abiFilters 'armeabi-v7a','arm64-v8a','x86','x86_64'
testInstrumentationRunner "androidx.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
bundle {
language {
enableSplit = false
}
}
}
dependencies {
implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.0.2'

}
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'
I have a suspicion, that the newly added geo scheme to the intent-filter may cause this or the enableSplit option, but I am not sure. when I tested the app on my device through Android Studio it works well, this issue is only after publishing.
