If a majority of broken things around here got fixed in either days or weeks, I don’t think we’d have the volume of piss we see being spilled and foamented in our complaining threads these days.
p.s. not pointing fingers; it is what it is. we love ST and the ST Team, but are pissed that it’s been so broken for so long. So, not adding to the piss; just intending to acknowledge it in a humorous way (humor=not my strong suit. So, I try).

I spent an hour and a half trying to troubleshoot a custom app I reinstalled that ran but did not show up in my Smartapp listings. A Google search lead me here to the solution. Thanks @bamarayne for documenting the error and fix
I am probably being dense, but as a new SmartThings user I am not sure where to find ‘API’ Should I be in the SmartThings android app and if so which screen?

Just curious if you are facing this issue, are you using a V1 Hub or V2 hub? I can not get my apps to load on my v1 hub on the newer SmartThings app. The v1 hub will load smart apps using an older version of the SmartThings app though…The v2 hub loads apps no problem.
I’m having the same issue, I installed/saved/published(for me) a new app, but it’s not showing up under the Smart App Category I set in the code. I tried the OP’s suggestion of unchecking the ‘Enable local child app discovery’ (it was initially checked when I looked at that screen), but the app is still not showing up for me in the mobile app.
Are there any other workarounds? Should I be setting the Category to something different than one of the existing categories that are listed in the mobile app?
Thanks kindly.

That Category selection is ignored for self-published SmartApps.
They will only show up in the “My Apps” at the bottom of the list of categories.
Thanks for the reply @tgauchat! Should I be concerned that I don’t have a ‘My Apps’ category at the bottom of the categories list under Marketplace > SmartApps? The last entry in the list for me is ‘More’.

Yes. Be concerned … be very concerned.
I’m guessing, that, perhaps you have published your SmartApp on the wrong shard!
Check the various tabs and if your Devices, Locations, Live Logging, etc. are all there you probably are in the right place, despite my guess of what’s wrong.
I’ve seen some chatter that SmartThings have some current issues with SmartApp self-publishing for some reason. Doesn’t hurt to email: Support@SmartThings.com
Thanks again @tgauchat. I followed your guide and I’m definitely on the NA01 shard. Someone replied to your guide and mentioned that the url redirects differently across browsers so I thought I might as well try logging in to the IDE using Chrome instead of Safari, I published my app, and just like that it’s showing up in the mobile app now. Must be some kind of weird Safari bug!
