Statically cataloging the utilized APIs sounds difficult.  Or impossible, 
if reflection is used (as it sometimes has been for hidden APIs).  Then 
there are native code issues, places where developers have resorted to 
underlying linuxisms to accomplish things that are poorly or intentionally 
unsupported by the platform, etc.  In total, predicting if a given APK will 
fail on a given version (/build/device) sounds pretty hard.
