Google play app incompatible?

Question

Android

I published my application on Google Play, I click open in the play market and it gives me: The application is incompatible with your device. (htc m8) although the application is on my phone, everything works fine. htc m8 is in the list of compatible devices in the developer console. I'm afraid that this may repel users (the application is paid). What could be the reason?

Answer 1

Check the manifest/gradle for the minimum API version: minSdkVersion
Also check the required permissions in the manifest. Maybe you accidentally require some kind of magnetic spectrometer, which is not in the phone, so he writes about incompatibility. But the most common mistake is the minimum version being too large.

Answer 2

I could be wrong, but incompatible apps don't show up in searches. The user will see such an inscription only if he follows a direct link to the application page.
