your device will be filtered based on the uses-feature tag. So the device without camera, autofocus & OpenGL won't be able to install this app. — Rajen Raiyarela, May 25 '15 at 05:56
there is many possible answers so please filter first in which devices you ll get this issue... try to resolve them. then after ask question over here — Dhaval Parmar, May 25 '15 at 05:59

This problem is because of uses-feature tag in your manifest file. devices not supporting these features are not compatible.

Just remove the uses-feature tag and your problem will be resolved.

Attributes defined in Manifest Filters out from Google Playstore to some devices.

Declared specific Target Sdk Version.
Defined Camera permission(Will filter devices without Camera)
Uses Feature Camera.
SIM enabled device.
Device with Wifi.

Before releasing your app you have to Opt out some of the features and Permissions and most of the time Sdk version target.

Hope these ideas are helpful for your app release. Happy Coding.

Your device isn't compatible with this version
