Android / Google Play game not working

in iPhone and Android Publishing
Hi there, hopefully someone can assist. I've just published my game to Google Play using the iPhone 5 portrait resolution (was told this would work for most Android devices). However when users download the game from the Google Play store, it switches to landscape mode, cuts the load screen in half and freezes. I published another Android app (not using Game Salad) only a few days ago and it published fine without issues. Is there something I'm missing?

    Ive made a ticket about the Android publishing issues. I suggest you do the same. ALL my recent apps exit on start up on google play, despite using the same apk file for Amazon, which was fine.

    Something is a foot.

    There are a lot of problems with Android publishing. Don't expect games to work the same on android as they do on IOS. Not even the high end devices.

    This is driving me crazy, having a similar issue. All my builds in GS and for iOS work great. I send my APK to my phone and it can't function properly at all.

    @ajsheahan - I think I found a work around - well, this worked for me. I noticed that any games that had music at the start of the app, would cause my games to exit on start.

    So, I created a new scene which was a 'loading screen' with my logo and the words 'Loading...' - now the app works and doesn't exit. It's very hit and miss because the same app worked on many Samsungs, didnt work on Sonys or some HTCs despite google play saying it worked on them.

    Hi guys and I apologize if my English is not as good as it should be.
    A few weeks ago I had this same problem as you and the solution is simple.
    Within each Gamesalad scene must press the "Scene" button and in the attributes inspector go to the last tab "Autorotate" Select only your game orientation, Portrait Upside Down, Landscape... Remember to do it in every scene of your game. Hope this helps. Greetings.
