  I tested the jumping ball demo.
  
  I did the three options you indicated.
  
  I did it by checking apk, then with aab. I also did it without those options to see the exported Android.
  
  Also indicate the paths of the android sdk, jdk, the keystore.
  
  In all of them indicate the package name. I never saw it in export.
  
  If you have any recommendations please let me know.

  I don't really understand

  When you export to android the name of the apk should be the name you put in Gideros Project Properties, Application name.
  Isn'it what you have when you export to android?

  You should leave the paths empty, Gideros Studio should automatically pick up the path to Android Studio on your system.

  Hello,
  
  When you export a project to create an apk file and upload it to the Google Play Console, it is rejected with the error that the app is available for TVs and needs to be uploaded as an app bundle.
  
  This is because the manifest file contains:
  ' category android:name="android.intent.category.LEANBACK_LAUNCHER" '
  in the "intent-filter" section.
  
  I can't upload it as an app bundle, therefore to generate the apk I have to build it with Android Studio by removing this declaration from the manifest file.
  
  Perhaps it would be nice if there was an option in the export project to not include this declaration in the AndroidManifest.xml file.
  
  Thank you,
  David.

  hi guys, what about this new requirement?
  
  "Starting Nov 9th, 2023 Google TV will require developers to provide a square app icon asset as part of the submitted TV app package in addition to the existing banner asset. The provided square app icon asset will be surfaced in circular format on the For You tab in the user’s Your Apps row and will be the primary asset users see when they launch your app. Please refer to the TV App Icon Guidelines for more guidance on creating app icons for your TV app."
  
  is this packaged when exporting aab/apk or something has to be done?
  thanks

  @keszegh, the square icon is the standard one, so yes it is already exported by Gideros.

  Thanks @hgy29 .
  
  One more thing... when I upload the apk to Google Play a warning appears:
  "androidx.fragment:fragment:1.0.0 deprecated..."
  And it is recommended that you update to version 1.1.0+.
  
  It's related to some problem with an SDK?
  
  Thanks.

  I didn't find any reference to androidx.fragment in Gideros core code, only in ads/kiip and map plugins, but without any version specification.
  However according to this SO thread https://stackoverflow.com/questions/76610683/google-play-console-the-sdk-developer-androidx-fragment-has-reported-fragment1 it may be because of google own libraries, and last answer gives a way to find out which dependency needs this fragment library. Can you check with your project and report here ?

  I have checked with my project in Android Studio and I see that the conflict is caused by the Google Play Services library:
  
  com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads-identifier:16.0.0
  com.google.android.gms:play-services-basement:16.0.1 conflicts with 15.0.1
  androidx.legacy:legacy-support-v4:1.0.0
  androidx.fragment:fragment:1.0.0
  androidx.annotation:annotation:1.1.0 conflict with 1.0.0
  
  There is this conflict but in the properties of the Ads plugin I have set version 21.5.0 as discussed in this topic: https://forum.giderosmobile.com/discussion/comment/68402#Comment_68402
  
  I don't know what version of Google Play Services I could use.

  Ok, thanks @MoKaLux. After trying Google Play Services version 22.3.0, the ads plugin is not working for me. I configured version 21.5.0 again and it is fine as before, but with the conflict. Anyway for now it's just a warning.
  
  Btw, I use the ads plugin to display ChartBoost ads and it is working, but I know that the ChartBoost SDK is outdated in Gideros. Could it be updated at some point?
  
  Thanks!
