CosmicPatrol is on the market again
Finally Google has managed to re-publish both versions of CosmicPatrol!
All together the game was nearly three months off the US market. Google showed very slow support on this subject: The game was renamed and approved by Hasbro in just a week... Bad job Google!
Enjoy the game!

CosmicPatrol naming conflict
2013-02-04
Enjoy the game!
Finally Google has managed to re-publish the CosmicPatrol app in the US market, but not the CosmicPatrol LITE version. I have no idea why the LITE version is still blocked.
Hope this will be clarified in the next days (or weeks -- the Google-support way).

Battleship naming conflict
Today I have got an email from Google. They say, that they have to remove the Battleship Sci-Fi games from the Google Play market (as all other games, which have the word Battleship in their name) because of the trademark infringement. Looks like the Hasbro company has a registered trademark for the word "Battleship".
I hope Google will be able to re enable the game in short, since the internal name of the game was always "CosmicPatrol" (as can be recognized on each logbook screenshot). So I plan to name the game back to the original version. The game has been once renamed to be found more easily on the market for people who search for the good old pen&paper game "Battleship" (wiki-link).

So, a new version (1.9.11) of the game has been uploaded to the Google Play market. The only change is the name of the game, which is now again 'CosmicPatrol' as the very first versions published on the market

Unfortunately Google is really SLOW at republishing of the removed game (now with changed name). It takes nearly one month for a single mail response. That is also the service I pay 30% of my income for...
Enjoy the game!

Battleship Sci-Fi 1.9.10
The version 1.9.9 has fixed the start-up crash bug for tablet devices. But unfortunately on Nexus-7 the graphics were displayed incorrectly. So the version 1.9.10, which fixes that issue, has been released just a few days later...
Further the version 1.9.10 adds the ACRA library, which shall help to collect crash information and send those in case of an error to the developer (The user has to confirm the sending).
The initial package for 1.9.10 version has been extended with the preference READ_LOGS, which allows to read the system logs. Unfortunately there is no way to make a finer difference: That my application wants to read only own log lines. And of course there are users, which immediately put 1-star ratings, cause of the READ_LOGS preference -- don't blame me for the possibility of seeing sensible data in the log: Blame Google for not making a finer access control and the developers of other applications, who put sensible data into the common log!
But since I cannot change the current situation, I have just rebuild the package with READ_LOGS preference removed. So I hope all people are now happy (besides of me, in case I have to catch some mystic bugs on specific devices, but who cares...)
Enjoy the game!
