How to customize the main store listing in the google console?

I have question is their way to customize the main store listing? I want to remove the table requirements because the app want to apply on the phone devices not in the tablet devices.
I read some articles or post that I need to go this section in the google console.
Reach and devices -> Device Catalog
You can limit your app to Phones only from the app manifest for more on this see this answer.
for Google Play store listing, you can add 1 screenshot for each tablet size using a phone screen shot, in that way you will only target phones.
the problem with "Device Catalog" approach that you will need to do this every time new devices were added to google play console which is very hard to do.

How do I send notifications on an AndroidTV?

I have been reading the documentation pages for Notifications for Android devices but I want to build and display notifications on an Android-TV. I have used several apps in the AndroidTV and none of them shows notifications, instead sometimes they appear in the recommendations bar,which leads me to believe that it may not be possible to display notifications on this family of devices.
My end goal is to dispatch a Heads-up notification (priority flag set to MAX) so it can be shown regardless of what the user is doing.
Can someone help me to achieve this, maybe pointing me to some more specific docs?
UPDATE I have found this application that displays notifications, but I cannot understand how it works. Is it possible that it is mimicking notifications without working with Android's API?
I also think notification will appear as "recommendation" and not appear as "notification".
For the Notifications for Android TV app, I guess it is using custom designed Toast instead of Notification.

Worklight persistent busy indicator

I'm working on a project using IBM Worklight and any time I build and deploy my project on any simulator or device, I have this busy indicator spinner in the middle of the screen. Its always there, on every page and its there in the ios, windows, web and android simulators as well as one android device we've tested on. Has anyone seen this before and if so how would I get rid of it.
Jquery-mobile was the problem, it was continuously displaying the indicator for seemingly no good reason. Deleting Jquery mobile fixed the problem
I already used the native worklight loading.It is very good and I tested it on different platforms, devices. But it is necessary to close it when you leave the function that opened it.
Example:
var busyInd = new WL.BusyIndicator ("content", {text: "Please wait..."});
function consult(){
busyInd.show();
//impl
busyInd.hide();
}

iOS 5 remote notification when launching app from dashboard

since iOS 5, notifications are no more intrusive as previous. This is nice, but it seems that users prefer to tap directly on app icon from the Dashboard instead of the (small) banner area or notification center.
In such case, my app cannot get payload from notifications.. Even the 'application didReceiveRemoteNotification' method is not able to get the notification.
Has anyone got the same issue? Do you have any advice?
Thanks
The intention of the push payload is just to display something useful/informative to the user in the alert. Not to actually send data to your app.
So you will need your own web service to provide the data your app needs. Your app should refresh/sync to that service when it launches to get the data.
Example: Instagram. It can push notify you that someone commented on your photo. But it's not actually sending the comment data in the push to display in the app. The comment data is downloaded when you launch Instagram and attempt to view the comment.

Display an alert over the lock screen?

On the iPhone, when your phone is locked and screen off, if a SMS message comes in, the screen turns on and an alert shows up.
Currently I am using UIAlertView to create the alert dialog (with 2 buttons).
If the phone is off/locked, nothing shows up until I turn it back on and unlock it.
Is there any way to simulate the 'SMS preview' behavior, possibly with another class, and hopefully still allow the user to interact with the buttons there?
CFUserNotificationCreate is your friend.
Not in the official iPhone SDK? Too bad, I remember that a year ago on the big presentation of the yet-to-come SDK, an Apple evangelist/chief saying that the SDK would include exactly the same API as used internally by Apple... Pfff...

What you want to do is not currently supported by the SDK. You should file a request with Apple.
