Issue of Compatibility with Tablets on Google Play Can anyone please help me?

Question

I am trying to publish an app and it is saying that it is not compatible with my Tablet. Below is the Manifest file for reference:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
   <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        package="com.abc.abc"
        android:versionCode="39"
        android:versionName="@string/version" >

        <uses-sdk
            android:minSdkVersion="11"
            android:targetSdkVersion="17" />

        <supports-screens
            android:largeScreens="true"
            android:normalScreens="true"
            android:smallScreens="true"
            android:xlargeScreens="true" />

        <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera" />
        <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera.autofocus" />
        <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.telephony"  android:required="false" />

        <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
        <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
        <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
        <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
        <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CONTACTS" />
        <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS" />
        <uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES" />
       <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
        <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
        <uses-permission android:name="com.ihi.atevent.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE" />
        <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />
        <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_LOGS" />
        <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.GET_TASKS" />
        <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CALL_PHONE" />

     <uses-feature
        android:glEsVersion="0x00020000"
        android:required="true" />

        <application
            android:name=".MyApplication"
            android:allowBackup="false"
            android:icon="@drawable/icon"
            android:label="@string/app_name"
            android:largeHeap="true"
            android:debuggable="false"
            android:theme="@style/Theme.Sherlock" >
            <meta-data
                android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
                android:value="AIzaSyDVr8kzltrq2Q_8L9RywX1tyq_YSFwhTj0" />

           List of Activities, Services, Receivers and Broadcasters

       </application>

   </manifest>

Is there anything I need to change? Or is there something else which is causing problem?

It is compatible with some of the tablets so narrowing down the issue it is related to use of **CALL feature**. Can any one help me to tell how I can use the same code base for all type of devices. I cant remove this permission. — Asif Banaras Dhamial, Jan 23 '15 at 06:42

It may be due to this permission:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CALL_PHONE" />

We had similar issue. The app was not visible in tablets after uploading on Play store. We had CALL_PHONE and SEND_SMS permissions added. After removing them, we uploded app again, and then it was compatible with tablets, too.

agree, some of the tablet don't have that function, to adhere norms they have this requirement – Pankaj Nimgade Jan 23 '15 at 05:26
let me give it a try but I cant remove this permission. May I add ??? – Asif Banaras Dhamial Jan 23 '15 at 05:31
android:required="false" is not for permission, I guess, Its for feature. Searching if I can find @AsifJutt – MysticMagicϡ Jan 23 '15 at 05:32
@AsifJutt probably, you can read [this](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11210442/android-permission-call-phone-making-single-apk-for-phones-and-tablets) and internal links. That may be of use. – MysticMagicϡ Jan 23 '15 at 05:40
@FlamePrincessϡ The issue is no one has confirm answer for this. Do you have any experience related to this would be realyy helpful for me – Asif Banaras Dhamial Jan 23 '15 at 06:44
@AsifJutt no. May be you can try removing permission and check if works in phone just with uses feature. – MysticMagicϡ Jan 23 '15 at 06:56

I added it after having the compatibility issue so I think it will not resolve this issue – Asif Banaras Dhamial Jan 23 '15 at 05:33
