[android-developers] Re: Suddenly Lots of Apps in Play Store are no longer compatible my Galaxy Tablet

I actually see now that when I browse the APK in the developer console to read the details about it, that it claims that it only supports 3-screen-layout, rather than 4 (xlarge missing).

It should be possible to tinker with the manifest and upload a new apk, look at the details and verify what does the trick instead of uploading - publish - wait - check - repeat...

Did you update the apps My Anchor Watch Free" and "My Anchor Watch Pro" or did they just suddenly become "incompatible"?  

I'm looking towards adding the android:targetSdkVersion to one of my apps and release it and see if it works.

This is exactly the issue Google had with the Hangout app not being compatible with tables once they update it from Talk, so they must have been caught by surprise as well.

I don't think that android:minSdkVersion or android:targetSdkVersion has anything to do with it. Some of my apps which are now shown as "incompatible" and some which are still "compatible", both only have the android:minSdkVersion in the AndroidManifest file.

Two of my apps which were shown in the Play Store as "compatible" only a few days aga, but which are now shown as "incompatible" (with e.g. GT-P7500) are "My Anchor Watch Free" and "My Anchor Watch Pro". They are both listed as compatible (with this particular device) in the Developer's Console.

I published a completely new app at the same time I published the updates, and it shows up on Google Play for all devices.

Only difference I can see between them is that the new app has the android:targetSdkVersion included within the uses-sdk tag while the others only have the android:minSdkVersion.

I have not found a common denominator yet. Strangely enough, those of my apps which are suddenly "incompatible" with the GT-P7500, (according to Play Store), are listed as compatible with the same device in the Developers Console. So it seems pretty obvious that something on Play Store has been broken.
