Live Prints is now live on the market! Look at them going around your screen attracted by suspicious activities! Go grab your copy now. 
Use the QR code, follow this link with your device or simply search for "live prints" on the market.
Any comment or feedback is appreciated!

Hey Leonardo, it doesn’t seem to exist on the Market, is there a problem?
Hi Ugur!
Weird, have you tried using the qr code above? it’s working for me. It seems some people are experiencing the same issue.
Try searching “Lonely Coyote” first (the free version). You can find the link of the full version in the settings.
Thanks

Sorry, I tried searching the market, I tried scanning the QR code, nothing works.
Heya Leo!
I love the way this wallpaper looks and would buy it in a heartbeat… Except I’m another one of the people who can’t see it in the market. For that matter, I don’t see “Lonely Coyote” either.
If it helps, I’m on AT&T with a Samsung Captivate…. but I don’t think it’s a cell carrier thing. Androlib.com can’t see these apps either, while Appbrain.com has “Lonely Coyote” listed but not “Live Prints”.
Hopefully you and Google can get this straightened out soon…
Have fun!

Neither can be found in the market.
I cant find this in the market either. Ive tried alsorts. I’m in the UK, have you made it available worldwide?
Ok guys, thanks for your feedback… Something should definitely be wrong with the market :S I’ll try to address this problem with Google and I’ll let you know.
In the meanwhile here (http://www.androidcentral.com/live-prints-live-wallpaper-loyal-androidcentral-reader) you can find some comments from people with the same issue which was able to address it.
stay tuned
Leonardo, minsdk should be 7, not 8, even if the project is built with android 2.2.
“Lonely Coyote” is on AppBrain, but when you click the link it says “Not found”. Neither of them are showing up on Android Market. I’m in the U.S., Verizon.
Hi Ian,
minSdk is indeed 7, and the project is built with android 2.1… where did you find those info?
Thanks
@Jeff: I have no idea why some people still don’t see it on the market. I asked google support and I’m waiting for help. I’ll let you know asap.
Just to clarify minSdkVersion is 7 and is built with Android 2.1
Running Droid CM6, and can’t find it on the market. Too bad, as I’d like to download it. Will check this page again to see if issue is fixed.
I am having the same issue where I can find Lonely Coyote on appbrain, but it won’t find it in the market.
I’ve searched every which way in the market AND tried the QR code to no avail
Hi All,
It seems to be a common issue with the market!
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Android+Market/thread?tid=2168efe87f5f8491&hl=en
this is just one thread talking about the same problem (there’re many others)!
hopefully this will be solved soon… damn
Sorry L, given you use N1, minSdk=8 seemed a likely error. Did you see the comment about deleting /lib? Do you use native code?
Yeah, it looks like there was a pretty major update in the Market over the past few days.
Looking at the (many) posts, it appears that there’s two main issues. One regarding API version feature requirements and another involving native code.
Since you’ve got the SDK set to 7, that’s not going to be the problem that keeps me from seeing this app. Also, that wouldn’t keep the various Market catalog web sites from seeing it either, regardless of it it was 7 or 8.
That leaves the other problem that seems to have cropped up as the most likely cause. If you’ve got a /lib directory in your APK, then the Market assumes that the app is developed for a specific device and contains hardware-specific code – even if that directory is empty! Which would explain why I can’t see it on my Captivate and why the various web sites can’t see it either.
Of course, if you’ve already checked it out and made sure that it’s not the issue you’re having, well, then I guess we’ll just have to hope that Google can track it down when they get around to looking at it.
thanks guys,
you’re both right: minSdk and /lib folder seems to be the common reasons to the problem. I have double checked both of them and I can confirm there seems to be no errors from my side… Let’s hope google will fix this issue soon!
Aargh! Man, I feel your pain. I really want to try this app… and I have 8 apps in the market myself, and now I don’t know how many people can even see them!
I’m having the same problem. On a Samsung Vibrant (a Samsung Galaxy S type phone) and it’s not showing up in my model’s market either.
any news?
still no way to find your wallpaper with my samsung galaxy 9000

Hi i still can’t find it on the market, has this issue been resolved. Please let me know, i really want to get it. thanks
I know… this really sucks! and I had no reply at all from Google! too much for a PAID market subscription.
Hi,
I finally found the app finally. It looks great, especially the bloody hands, but a little laggy though, not sure why. Using it on Samsung Vibrant.
ARRGGGHHH cannot find this wallpaper on my market place!In the UK on Tmobile network, have tried using QR code and various other searches in the market place.Please help or is there another way to purchase this wallpaper.
I think I know what the issue is. You have “”, I bet. Unfortunately, on phones prior to Android 2.2, that flag stops live wallpapers from appearing in the market altogether, even if the phone supports them.
BTW, just bought LivePrints on my Nexus (Froyo)! But it’s still not on my Droid (Android 2.1), which is unfortunately my main phone.
Sorry, my post got edited. I was trying to say uses-feature android.software.live_wallpaper.
Hi Ian and thanks for the feedbacks!
You are right. I used the uses-feature tag to compile the builds. The strange thing is that I was able to find the wallpaper in the market with my Nexus running both 2.1 and 2.2 Android version.
Do you have some link with more info about the topic? If turns out to be that tag the problem will be supercool! I can fix in no time.
No, sorry. I just hit the problem with my own app and finally figured it out.
I just removed the uses-feature string from both Live Prints and Lonely Coyote…
@ian: could you, please, try now and let me know if it worked?
Leo
It works! just bought it from Android Market
supercOOL! thanks
woohooo!!!!loving it!
