Chromecast with Google TV - Sideloaded apps not showing up in 'Your Apps' menu

by BigLeeBrink

As title said some of the sideloaded apps I have installed do not show up in the 'Your Apps' menu, unlike the Fire Stick.

To get to these apps I have to go into the Settings > Apps > See All Apps, and open them from there.

It makes no sense to me that they are installed and show up in the See All Apps within the settings but not in 'Your Apps'.

Does anyone know why this might be? Does the device just not recognise them as apps?

They are likely mobile versions of the app. You need to use the Sideload Launcher app in order to get easy access to those other apps. If you sideload Android TV apks, those should populate normally within the apps section.

Call-me-pauly

You can use this to create tiles on your home screen.
