My android app is not found through tablets in google play store. the App manifest is as :

 <supports-screens

I have tested the apk on my tablet its working fine. But when i published my app on google play, i wasnt able to see my app on my tablet from google play? Kindly Help!! thanx in advance...

Answer 1

AFAIK there are only two ways your APP will not show up on playstore

1. OS version is less than minsdk version supported by app. I don't think this is the issue for you as you are using minsdk as 8.
2. Device needs some feature that tablet does not support. This will most likely be the culprit.

Before jumping to conclusions your best option is to browse that app from browser. Here you can see if the app is compatible with list of your devices. Here you would see reason as to why your app is not compatible. Attaching a screenshot from similar issue I faced -

For me it looks like phones not having GPS dont have access to this app. You could try

<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.location.gps" android:required="false" />

Answer 2

please add following line. It should solve your problem !!

<supports-screens android:resizeable="true" android:anyDensity="true" />
