The app builds and runs on the phone but doesn't show up on the home screen

Unity Engine

Hi, i’m building an Android app using 2019.2.1 and it works alright (using build & run or .apk post-installation dialogue), but just doesn’t show up on the home screen. I can’t find it using search either. It’s listed in Settings - Applications, so at least i can uninstall it, but that’s it.

Just in case i tried building one of my old projects from 2018.3.8 and the app appears just fine.

I’ve already updated Android SDK and made sure both Unity installs are using it. Right now i’m comparing player settings between the two projects but i don’t think i did anything unusual there, just don’t see what could be causing this.

The phone is Samsung Galaxy S8, Android 9.

Would appreciate any ideas.

Just a guess, but maybe you have multiple user accounts / profiles on that device and the app gets installed for a different user.

Nope, definitely just one account, but i didn’t even know Android can do multiple, something to keep in mind.

Since it doesn’t appear to be a common issue (at least i couldn’t find similar cases), i guess i’ll try switching to 2018.4 LTS, hopefully it will install properly then.
