Get a VR app to be recognized as "Cardboard Compatible"

I published a VR app on the store, and despite I'm using the Cardboard SDK (version 0.5.2, with an update to 0.5.3 on the way) and the app itself seems to do decently for itself, It doesn't appear in the list of "other Cardboard installed app" in the Cardboard Demo, and neither on the page:

"Apps for Cardboard" on Google Play

Is there some flag to turn on on the app manifest or some kind of voodoo to get an app listed as "cardbaord compatible"? Is the list picked by a team of reviewer?

Thank you!

Seems that you missing to specify the category com.google.intent.category.CARDBOARD in theintent-filter of your Main Activity in AndroidManifest.xml.

From the Cardboard SDK documentation:

The intent-filter and specifically com.google.intent.category.CARDBOARD state that this activity is compatible with Cardboard-like viewers. This category is used by the Cardboard app to list compatible apps installed on the user's phone.
