Functionalities on Android and Google Play compatibility

Question

I had an application that require autofocus to work so its in the manifest file.

When I put my application on the Play Store some phones ar not in the compatibility list like :

Xperia Tipo (ST21i)
LG Optimus L3 (E430)

But according to the constructor specifications this phones have autofocus. I wonder if this is an issue on the play store (and if it the case where I can contact the developpers ?) or if this is an issue on the device is there is a way to allow it manually ?

Thanks in advance.

Yeah but in that case I will allow the phone without autofocus and as the app is used for scan QR Code it's not possible to allow a phone without autofocus ... (Client specications and worries ...) – Erufu Jul 22 '13 at 13:14

These models have no auto autofocus at all, just check de oficial technical sheet, there's no track of it. XPERIA Tipo technical specification:
