Re: [android-developers] Google Play Store warning about fewer devices supported by updated APK

<uses-sdk> is the only thing I changed between two versions in the manifest file. I have not added any new  uses-features in the latest release. 

Thanks!!

Hi,

i think it was the not issue of  <uses-sdk> setting in the manifst file

google play store  filter the application if the device is not have some features which is using user app
 

add <uses-feature> setting into our manifest and set required option value to true or false,    see below code that indicate the google play not to filter the app if camara is not available for those device.    see this link for more information http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-feature-element.html     

<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera" android:required="false"/>    Thanks  Santhosh Battupelli

In the latest version of my app,  I updated the manifest file to include support for ICS version. When activating the APK file, I got a warning (that I apparently ignored) about newest version supports fewer devices than previous version. Later that day I saw couple of posts in forums where user saying that they are getting APP incompatible with their device messages. The current info in manifest looks like this:

    <uses-sdk      android:maxSdkVersion="15"      android:minSdkVersion="7"       android:targetSdkVersion="14"/>  

The previous version in manifest had following info

    <uses-sdk      android:maxSdkVersion="14"      android:minSdkVersion="7" />  

I used targetSDK as 14 to enable action bar. In the PLAY store the app shows "requires android 2.1 and up"

 Any idea why this would lead to fewer device support though the maxSDK is 15 instead of 14? Any help will be highly appreciated. 

Thanks!!
