Import APK on Play Store

I have some difficulties while importing my first APK on Play Store. A simple WebView App.

I have this error message :

Importation error. The domain name "https://chimeria.net" you specified is not valid Enter a valid domain name.

Where https://chimeria.net is the url of the embeded website in the WebView...

After the documentation I read (https://developers.google.com/digital-asset-links/v1/getting-started):

I took the SHA256 value from My Developer play store page, at the tab Application Signature.

  • I added this line in the AndroidManifest.xml of the app:

<meta-data android:name="asset_statements" android:resource="@string/asset_statements" />

  • I added this in the res/values/strings.xml file of the app

<string name="asset_statements">
      [{
        \"relation\": [\"delegate_permission/common.share_location\"],
        \"target\": {
          \"namespace\": \"web\",
          \"site\": \"https://chimeria.net\"
        }
      }]
    </string>

  • Later in my manifest file, I declared

<intent-filter android:autoVerify="true">
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
                <data android:scheme="http" android:host="https://chimeria.net" />
                <data android:scheme="https" />
            </intent-filter>

  • The app was created with Android Studio (Android App Bundle) that gave me an .aab file.

No matter what I tried, my app was refused because the link was not accepted. And finnaly I wasted all possible attemple in a day. Would somebody know what I am doing wrong ?

Thanks you for your help

Solution

  • chimeria.net is the host, https or http is the scheme.

    You probably want to change your manifest to:

    <intent-filter android:autoVerify="true">
  <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
  <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
  <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
  <data android:scheme="http" android:host="chimeria.net" />
  <data android:scheme="https" android:host="chimeria.net" />
</intent-filter>
