Basically, I want to make an Android app only isnstallable on certain devices. Let's say for example, my app should only be installed on the 2012 Nexus 7. Is there any way I can make it so that the app manifest only parses on the 2012 Nexus 7?

I don't know about specific devices but apps can be for a certain andriod OS. It can also be made for certain hardware specifications e.g. outwards facing camera.

You can do that in the Play Store when you publish your app. You're able to choose the supported devices, et cetera.

Read this answer on StackOverflow, which looks pretty much like the thing that you're looking for. Another link you could check out is this one.

  • This is not good enough as I am building a dangerous root app that only works on a very specific hardware config. I could have sworn there was some way in manifest to check build.prop settings before parsing the package. Also I want to make a version for devices that aren't officially supported by Play Store so they aren't in the dev console menus... – Colton DRG Apr 28 '14 at 18:40
