Android multiple apk, download the wrong version

Question

I have developed a cross-platform app with cocos2d-x v3, the iOS version it worked very good, and when i ported it to android , i had size problem( apk >50 MB), so i decided to use Multiples apks , so i made 2 seperate apk's, with different version codes:

first apk support small, normal and large screen : i supposed that the screen size of this categorie it's lower or equals then 960*640.

second apk support xlarge screen: i supposed that the screen size of this categorie it's Greater then 960*640.

Please look at this image

  </manifest>

Now, when users download the app from google play ,they all get the first apk regardless to the screen size of their Android phone . So my question are:

1- are you agree with my supposition ?

2- why users get only the first apk?

Please help me, my clients complain of this problem. Thank you for your time and consideration.

If you post the manifest files for both versions, we might be able to determine what's happening. — Ted Hopp, Sep 11 '14 at 18:15
`i supposed that the screen size of this categorie it's lower or equals then 960*640.` where did you get that supposition from? — njzk2, Sep 11 '14 at 19:11

I disagree with your approach, you should take a look on apk expansion ( http://developer.android.com/google/play/expansion-files.html ) or maybe download things dynmiclly from a server.

That being said I don't know what causes the APK to be this huge (don't forget an APK is a zip file and you can view its content) so my approches might not fit

Set

<supports-screens android:anyDensity="false" 
android:largeScreens="false"       
android:normalScreens="true" 
android:smallScreens="true" 
android:xlargeScreens="false" />

for first

<supports-screens 
android:anyDensity="true" 
android:largeScreens="true" 
android:normalScreens="false" 
android:smallScreens="false" 
android:xlargeScreens="true" />`

forsecond

Still i am not too much sure
