app is installing to "Games" instead of "Make/Builds"

I'm currently porting an Android app (not a game) over to Ouya, and whenever I install it with AirDroid or via micro-USB cable, it goes straight to my games list instead of Make/Builds. Is there a way to change this? I guess it's not that important, I'm just curious as to this behavior. Here is the relevant part of my intent:

<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
<category android:name="tv.ouya.intent.category.APP" />
</intent-filter>

Thanks for any info you might have!

    It's in "Play" and that's where it's supposed to be. To remove it, remove the .APP intent, but then it won't be able to be put on the store.

    @chuck create the game in your account at devs.ouya.tv then upload the APK there.  It will then appear on your OUYA in Make/Builds :)

    I noticed when testing launching my app on the ouya for the first time, it went into the make/build section, and I figured that was normal. Then later when I followed the docs which said to insert the line:
     <category android:name="tv.ouya.intent.category.GAME"/>
    into the manifest, it then showed up in the play section. Which tells me you probably just need to comment out or remove the line:
    <category android:name="tv.ouya.intent.category.APP" /> if you want it to show up in make/build.
