Hi Fredrik, I'm also having the same problem as OP. Nothing changed in my Manifest, or build procedure, but now Google Play marks my app as incompatible with e.g. the Nexus 10.
It would be really nice if there was some way of asking Google directly if they have changed something, rather than us all speculating on what might have happened or what the fix might be :-) If I browse the APK in the dev. console I see the following. (I'm not sure what this information means precisely - I've never looked at it before!) "Previously active APKs supported more devices than those in the draft configuration. Some devices will not receive upgrades. Less - Devices currently running *version 76* are no longer supported by the current configuration. Such devices will not receive upgrades. *API levels* = 4 and *Screen layouts* containing any of [small, normal, large, xlarge*] and *Features* containing all of [android.hardware.MICROPHONE, android.hardware.TOUCHSCREEN] - Devices currently running *version 13* are no longer supported by the current configuration. Such devices will not receive upgrades. *API levels* = 3 and *Screen layouts* containing any of [normal, large*, xlarge*] and *Features* containing all of [android.hardware.MICROPHONE, android.hardware.TOUCHSCREEN]" Julian On Thursday, May 23, 2013 2:35:05 AM UTC-7, Fredrik Hyttnäs-Lenngren wrote: > > I actually see now that when I browse the APK in the developer console to > read the details about it, that it claims that it only supports > 3-screen-layout, rather than 4 (xlarge missing). > It should be possible to tinker with the manifest and upload a new apk, > look at the details and verify what does the trick instead of uploading - > publish - wait - check - repeat... > > // Fredrik > > On Thursday, 23 May 2013 09:21:09 UTC+2, Fredrik Hyttnäs-Lenngren wrote: >> >> Did you update the apps My Anchor Watch Free" and "My Anchor Watch Pro" >> or did they just suddenly become "incompatible"? >> I'm looking towards adding the *android:targetSdkVersion *to one of my >> apps and release it and see if it works. >> >> This is exactly the issue Google had with the Hangout app not being >> compatible with tables once they update it from Talk, so they must have >> been caught by surprise as well. >> >> Fredrik >> >> On Thursday, 23 May 2013 08:54:52 UTC+2, Terry wrote: >>> >>> I don't think that *android:**minSdkVersion or ** >>> android:targetSdkVersion *has anything to do with it.
