So, My app has run fine on all 13 devices according to pre launch report of play store, but does gave warning and in the performance section, on device of Samsung Galaxy S3, it says, no performance data is available for this device, any idea, why that can be issue and can play store not let me publish my app because of that warning,
Screenshots-
Google Play Console performance report data requires that the application be installed and used on any device. Detailed information is here
Are you sure your application is opened in Galaxy S3? I think your application is downloaded Galaxy S3 device but does not opened.

I've implemented Fabric (Crashlytics) in my app. Since yesterday I started an internal test on the Play Store. I created a new APK with a new version number. Only two people have been added to this internal test (which includes myself and a coworker). This morning I got some crashes from Fabric. But these crashes are from unknown phones: A rooted Samsung Galaxy S5 on Android 4.4.2 and a Samsung Galaxy J7 on Android 6.0.1. Where are these crashes coming from?
Edit
Internal testing on the Play Store is new. It is like Beta or Alpha builds (so only available for testers added to it).
I suspect this is from Google's pre-launch report.
When you upload an APK to an alpha, beta or testing track Google automatically runs your app on a number of devices to test quality.
We've experienced this on multiple projects too.
We assume that some third party stores, like apkpure, grabbed our apks from the playstore to list them in their store.
So those logs will either be from their internal testing devices, or from users that installed the app from the third party store.
We've found that all of our apps that have mysterious logs from unknown rooted devices are listed in one ore more third party stores.
But again, this is only an assumption.

This Is not an Apk Problem, Nor a Signing Problem, Some Devices, Especially Samsung ones have an App Management Tool built-in. And Most Users don't even know about such thing. These App Management Features are just Messing with Google Play Store to Kepp the Device Alive and Prevent Any Crash.
But there is a setting in Samsung devices which gives the user option to deactivate this "Management" tool.
Also, If you have Published your Application on Google Play, Go your Google Play Console, There is an Option which tells you on Which devices your App can be installed and Used. It gives you a very high precision estimate of Device Reachability.
Your APK is Fine, Don't Worry.
I am a developer and recently published my new application My VIT on Play Store. Everything is working fine except a small bug in Android Lollipop devices. Whenever my users are trying to install app from play store in their devices, they get a 505 during the time of installation.
The app is running well on Kitkat and many other Lollipop devices. Some devices like nexus 6, nexus 7 2013, htc one m8, yu yuphoria are facing problems. I contacted Google Support, but they provided me with solutions I already performed.
I have cleared my Play Store data, Play Services data, download manager data, reset my date/time and re-added my Google account. Still no luck. I think it's a development issue because my other app is running fine on those devices.
I just realized a number of my apps do not show up on Google Play store on OS 2.3.6. I have this Samsung Galaxy Y with 2.3.6.
For example this Speedometer app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.valueapps.utilities.speedometer
When accessed on the above mentioned device, Play store says the device isn't compatible.
What factors make your app disappear from a particular phone's Play store?
I've installed the app directly on this phone using USB cable+eclipse ( dev environment) and it works just fine. It's not compatibility issue for sure.
If your phone will not let you download apps on google play then download an online apk of an older version of the app.
I googled around and tried to find out something about the new Samsung App Store. I built an App for Google Play and I wonder if I can deploy it to the Samsung App Store.
The Android SDK isn't specially built for Google Play I guess. But looking at the Samsung SDK docs it seems quite different from the standard SDK.
Does anybody has any experience with Samsung or knows a link where I can find more info?
Thanks!
Google Play is a non exclusive app store. You are free to distribute your app via other channels, such as Amazon App Store, Samsung App Store, emailing apks and even direct downloads from your own site.
Any app that has been written with the Android SDK should work on any device running the supported versions Android (assuming the OEM has a bug free and AOSP based ROM).
Keep in mind though that some devices that have the Samsung App Store may not have Google Play and may not be able to use Google Services like In App billing and licensing.
Be warned with Samsung Apps, they take huge fees, there are many intermediaries (agents, commissionaires). While in Google Play you get 70% of the sales, in Samsung Apps you barely get 30-35%... And you are paid 6 months later.
