When I search in the Google Play store, the Gospel Library app is not showing up. Also, when I try to use the link in your post, I get the attached message.

What version of the Android operating system do you have on your device? Gospel Library will not show up or be available if the current version available in the Play Store is not compatible with your Android version. If you had previously installed an older compatible version of Gospel Library then that version would be available for reinstall. However, depending on which version of Gospel Library you had installed before it may or may not receive any content updates. See the thread Supported Android versions for Gospel Library for more information.

I just bought a new android tablet which is running android version 9. The Gospel Library App is now not showing up in the Store. Is the App now running behind in version compatibility? Can you please update the Supported Android versions for Gospel Library thread?

The Gospel Library app is missing from the App Store for Android also when I look from my old tablet with Android 5.1.1 or my phone with Android 7.0

There's an issue with the store listing currently, hopefully it will be resolved in the next couple of hours.

I also noticed the Gospel Library app was missing from Google Play, and not just from my phone. When I tried to look it up on the computer, the link to the app on Google Play says the URL is not found. When I went to a listing of all apps provided by the church, Gospel Library was not listed.

The reason I was even looking is because I'm having a recent problem with my app crashing. Every time I try to open the new Handbook on the app, the whole app crashes. Sometimes it crashes even trying to just add or remove the Handbook. Not sure if I'm alone with that or not. So I'm hoping maybe they're fixing something in the app.

The Play Store listing for Gospel Library is back up.

Are you on the Gospel Library beta? This sounds similar to an issue that was fixed during the beta period for 5.4.0 – if it's the same issue, updating the app to the latest version in the Play Store should fix it.

I've been running the regular version 5.4.0, not the beta, on Android 9.

Thanks for letting us know the Play Store listing was back up. I just went there and it allowed me to update my app, even though I was already running 5.4.0. After the update and a restart, the Handbook section is now working in my Gospel Library app without crashing. So they must have done something to fix that problem.
