I have the below manifest for my app, when I have uploaded this app to the play store for some reason it is not visible for tablets.
What do I need to change to do this?
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:versionCode="3"
android:versionName="1.0.2" >
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="8"
android:targetSdkVersion="18" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" />
Try adding this to your manifest
<supports-screens
android:largeScreens="true"
android:normalScreens="true"
android:smallScreens="true"
android:resizeable="true"
android:anyDensity="true" />
set uses feature required false in your manifest file
because some features are not supported by android tablets
for Example:
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.telephony" android:required="false" />
while uploading to Google play it shows a yellow warning bubble next to your apk what message you are getting there?

Publishing and Android app I can see the app in the market but I everyone is watching this text
This app is incompatible with all of your devices.
Here is the permissions and features of my manifest
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.USE_CREDENTIALS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_USER_DICTIONARY" />
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.touchscreen" android:required="false" />
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.microphone" android:required="false" />
and from gradle.build
minSdkVersion 16
targetSdkVersion 21
I dont understand why it doesnt show supported phones.
Thank you
Do you have a supports-screens tag in your AndroidManifest.xml ? If not, try adding this:
<supports-screens android:resizeable="true" android:smallScreens="true" android:normalScreens="true" android:largeScreens="true" android:xlargeScreens="true" android:anyDensity="true" />
The problem was one of the dependencies imported in gradle.
compile 'org.apache.directory.studio:org.apache.commons.codec:1.8'
We replaced with this
commons-codec:commons-codec:1.8
And the application became available for all the devices.
I'm trying to publish the app for any device. I assume, that there is something AndroidManifest.xml that causing it to not being available for tablets, but I can't figure out what.
Here is the fragment that could cause troubles:
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="10"
android:targetSdkVersion="18" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CALL_PHONE" android:required="false"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.USE_CREDENTIALS" />
<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />
<supports-screens android:smallScreens="true"
android:normalScreens="true"
android:largeScreens="true"
android:xlargeScreens="true"
android:resizeable="true"
android:anyDensity="true"/>
<permission
android:name="pl.wirtuale.vtk.permission.C2D_MESSAGE"
android:protectionLevel="signature" />
<uses-permission android:name="pl.wirtuale.vtk.permission.C2D_MESSAGE" />
I marked CALL_PHONE as not required but still the app is not available for tablets. What else could cause it?
that is not how you say something is required or not. to not require the telephone you do this
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.telephony"
android:required="false"/>
also if you want to support everything you dont need to have all this stuff
<supports-screens android:smallScreens="true"
android:normalScreens="true"
android:largeScreens="true"
android:xlargeScreens="true"
android:resizeable="true"
android:anyDensity="true"/>
you can just delete it, all screen sizes will be compatible. You only use that when you want to exclude certain sizes
my application from store visible for acer tablet that is android 3.2.1 but it not visible for samsung tab p3100 that is 4.1. What can i do?
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="7"
android:targetSdkVersion="11" />
<supports-screens
android:anyDensity="true"
android:largeScreens="true"
android:normalScreens="true"
android:resizeable="true"
android:smallScreens="true"
android:xlargeScreens="true" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<!-- This permission will allow us request the connection changes. -->
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<!-- This is required to start our service from BootCompletedIntentReceiver. -->
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
Its because of android:targetSdkVersion="11". It should be android:targetSdkVersion="16" for that.
Permission android.permission.CAMERA implies requirement of features android.hardware.camera and android.hardware.camera.autofocus. Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (p3100) doesn't have autofocus. May be it is the reason.
Permissions that Imply Feature Requirements.
SO you can try with adding below line into manifest
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera" android:required="false" />
I published my APK to Android market. I can search it via https://play.google.com/store/search?q=[package name], but I can't install it on my Nexus One device which running Android OS 2.3.6, the popup shows not compatible with your device. The manifest file is configured as below:
<supports-screens
android:largeScreens="true"
android:smallScreens="true"
android:normalScreens="true"
android:resizeable="true"
android:anyDensity="true"
/>
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO"></uses-permission>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera" />
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera.autofocus" />
What problem in my configuration made My Nexus One device is filtered?
There's nothing wrong with your manifest; I'd wager you have Copy Protection enabled. From the documentation:
To copy protect an application, set copy protection to "On" when you
configure publishing options for your application. Google Play will
not show copy-protected applications on developer devices or
unreleased devices.
Since the Nexus One is a developer device, it will show as incompatible. I ran into this same issue on my Galaxy Nexus.
Add this to your manifest
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="8"
android:targetSdkVersion="15" />//=======> the target version is your wish(> 10)
My manifest file is updated now and it looks like this.But its still not visible or not compatible on google play for newer android then 2.2.But i have tested it on 4.0 and its work.
Here is my manifest.Please help
android:versionCode="4"
android:versionName="1" >
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="7" android:targetSdkVersion="15"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" android:required="false"/>
<supports-screens
android:resizeable="true"
android:smallScreens="true"
android:normalScreens="true"
android:largeScreens="true"
android:anyDensity="true"/>
Remove the android:required="false" from the uses-permission tag.
You're not supposed to place this inside a permission tag, but in a uses-feature tag...
Anyway, WAKE_LOCK will not need any required declaration:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />
