I recently uploaded my game on play store. The game works fine in my mobile. but i tried to install it in my friends(3-4) mobile phones it gives below error.

}
Please help to solve.
Also i have ads in my game. so do i need to provide internet permission.?

Your application supports only Android Pie (9) and Android Q(10) only.
To support vast number of devices, please change minSdkVersion to 23 and update target version to latest available i.e. 30.
Yes, Internet permission is required to show the Ads.

My manifest went missing after failing building gradle with Glide Library

I tried using the Glide library in order to load a profile picture from Facebook, in the gradle I implemented the 4.8.0 version (which is not the latest) and it made this error :
ERROR: Failed to parse XML in C:\Users\Paul Jouet\Desktop\ESILV\S5\Mobile Programming\ProjetTest2\app\src\main\AndroidManifest.xml
ParseError at [row,col]:[18,89]
Message: expected start or end tag
Affected Modules: app
My manifest module has disappeared, it is still in my project and I can open it, but not from the 'android' section... When I tried syncing again without the implementation, the error remains, I tried some solutions I found like cleaning the project and rebuild it, but none worked.
This is how the 'android' section looks like after the failed syncing, the module 'manifest' is missing even though it is still in the same location as before
Can someone explain to me how this can happen ? It makes no sense to me since I obviously deleted the part causing the problem... The only solution I could find is to recreate a project from scratch and copy paste all my code, but this is not viable since it can happen again.
Thank you for helping !

Having compatibility issues on Google Play with some devices

I've recently just launched my app, and it's going really well! I am having issues with some users, though. Users on older devices such as the Nexus 5X, Huawei P10 Lite, and Meizu M2 Note are saying they are unable to download the app on Google Play because it says it is incompatible with their device. I've already checked the Developer Console and it says the app should support these devices (except the Meizu that one doesn't even show up in the catalog). I've also already run emulators mimicking the devices and everything works fine. All of them are running Android 8.0 which I know for sure is supported by my app.
I've been looking all over google for a way to solve this, but honestly I have no idea what to do anymore. This is my first real app and I can't help but get the feeling that I'm missing some crucial step for widespread release.
Here's my Manifest:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

Does anyone have any ideas? I would really appreciate any help!

Your app has min Sdk = 23 (this gradle line)
minSdkVersion 23
The complaints are probably from users on older versions of Android.

My application is having trouble on real devices

I have finish my application and run it perfectly on my emulator (Nexus 6 API 22). But when I try to run it on a real device, I have troubles, in the first device (with version 5) I have tried crash when I start an activity that implements google maps. At first I try to solve it by set it my key to the release folder as well as on the debug one, but the keep crashing. I thought was about some permissions or dependencies, but I thing I have everything right.
My build.gradle file
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

</application>
Then I try on another device (this one was with version 4.2.2), in this device just doesn't want to start, crashed when you tried to open it. I tried to change the version on my compileSDKVersion between 24 and 25 but look that is not that the problem. At this moment I don't know what else do, I thought also that was because my application use a google service should be post it already on google play, I did it but also did not work.
I will appreciate anyone who could help me.
Thanks in advance.
P.S: If someone want to try the app is in the store already but looks that only is available in Mexico, but if some one want to try it I could send my app-release.apk
UPDATE
First thanks all of you for give the time to answer. I appreciate.
Thanks to #Windsor answer came to me the doubt about using the same API key for the debug and release file. Looking about my sha-1 key and on the google development website I realize that indeed I could use the same API key for both files (debug and release) but the think was that with the generated signed key that I create building my apk I could use the sha-1 to add one more restriction to my API key and could use it to the app-release.apk. Successful the app run correctly on a real device (version 5), but unfortunately keep stopped on others version devices.

hello can you cheked Location Permision for API level 23?

Generate a signed apk.
Make sure you have your sha1 release key on Google API services. Does debug work on real devices?
Can't tell you without seeing the main activity.
If you api key isn't working normally you just don't get a map. If it works on multiple android versions in a emulator ods are api key. Debug keys don't work in the final copy you need to generate a apk with the release key!!!
Could be you method for getting location services.
I build for the lowest target version test then add compatibility for newer version that's what I like.

Can't use Google Play Services on emulator android studio

I can't use Google Play services with the emulators in Android Studio. I give you my build.gradle and manifest files:
build.gradle:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 23
buildToolsVersion "23.0.0"
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
defaultConfig {
applicationId "fr.myapp"
minSdkVersion 16
targetSdkVersion 22
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
multiDexEnabled true
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.2.1'
compile 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:4.0.1'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:7.8.0'
compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1'
}
Part of my AndroidManifest (I don't show all the activities):
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.USE_CREDENTIALS" />
<application
android:name="android.support.multidex.MultiDexApplication"
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
android:value="#integer/google_play_services_version" />
<meta-data

<activity

android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|screenLayout|screenSize|orientation"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#android:style/Theme.Translucent.NoTitleBar" />
</application>
</manifest>
And in a xml I just have the google button : com.google.android.gms.common.SignInButton
And when I lauch my Application, when I arrive in the activity containing the button, I have the following message : "the app won't run unless you update Google Play services". I also have (I tried some solutions) "this app won't run without Google Play services, which are missing from your phone".
I've found some questions on this problem, but it always said that the last emulator don't have this problem. But using the default Nexus 5 (API 22) emulator on android studio gives me these errors. So I tried to install the last apk google play services file, and after successing the install, I launch the app and have this time this error : "the app relies on Google play services, which is not supported by your device. Contact the manufacturer for assistance." I also tried with a virtual device that I created, with API 22 and 23 and I have the same errors.
I don't understand because I thought that the errors with Google play services didn't exist anymore on the last API.
Thanks for help.

Maybe try to create emulator with image x86 which includes Google APIs
