Can anyone suggest me why this app is not visible for tablets on google play store. I am using GCM, Gmap, Camera and storing files on sdcard.

It is not visible for major tablets on google play store, sim and simless. I do know that google play store mask app from device which not match with manifest permissions however I believe that there no any permission which is not exist on major samsung devices.

Please find below manifest.

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

  • Could be the devices not having cameras, GPS etc. Try making some of your permissions optional and see if that improves things – biddulph.r Jun 18 '14 at 09:33
  • I have published app on BETA and checking supporting devices and it showing that this many devices can support however app NOT visible on those devices. I am logged in that supported device(Samsung Tab) as a tester with using google account. Device has camera and GPS too. Still its not visible new version which I have published on BETA. – Kanesh Parmar Jun 18 '14 at 09:45
  • If you login as your test user and go to the Google Play Store link on your PC does it show your device as not supported? – HHK Jun 18 '14 at 09:47
  • It takes an hour or so for changes to propagate on the servers. Have you waited? – biddulph.r Jun 18 '14 at 09:48
  • I have gone through all the steps like hitting link to become tester. however the Google account I am using it has attached variety of devices so which supported and which not is still puzzle, still I will try other way. App published yesterday on PLAY store so its already 20 hours. It is also showing me on one of device moto x but not on tablet. – Kanesh Parmar Jun 18 '14 at 10:05

  • So you mean to say I will have to add android:minSdkVersion="12" not android:minSdkVersion="11" ? – Kanesh Parmar Jun 18 '14 at 10:07
  • NO..First check the Table android version , Then if tablet android version less than android:minSdkVersion="11", Then google play store will not show the app, Example:- Table android OS version 10 , then your application minSDK version 11..then u cant see the app in playstore – user2376674 Jun 18 '14 at 10:18
  • thanks but those all devices has latest OS above 11+. and should be visible on play store. – Kanesh Parmar Jun 18 '14 at 10:20
