Why is my Sticker app not appearing in Gboard?

540 views Asked by At

I followed this tutorial and updated some syntax. When I run on a virtual device (Pixel 2 Android 11) the app is installed. Tapping the button gives me the success toast "Successfully added stickers" and the stickers are added to my Gboard.

When I try installing the app on a physical device (also Pixel 2 Android 11) the app is installed, I get the same successful toast, but the stickers are nowhere to be found in Gboard. This seems to be a common problem in the comments of that tutorial post, but no answers are given by the writer.

What might be the core issue for why the stickers aren't showing up in Gboard on physical devices?

EDIT: I should add that the app is being installed on physical devices via Internal Testing, not in a debugging environment. I haven't had access to a physical Android device this week.
