Will the Vibrate Permission filter an app from Google TV in the Android Market?

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.VIBRATE"></uses-permission>

Will an app requiring this show up in the Android Market for Google TV?

Solution

  • That permission will not block an app from showing up in the Market for Google TV devices.

    The only permissions that are at risk of blocking an app from showing up in the Market are those that imply a hardware feature that is covered by <uses-feature>. There is no <uses-feature> for the vibration motor. Hence, the VIBRATE permission does not imply any particular <uses-feature> element.
