Android Tablet - Your Device isn't compatible with this version
I have my android app published in google play store with considerable number of installations. Recently i have released a new version(Update).
For Mobile device users everything was fine. They were able to update / install the latest version without any issues.
The problem is with Tablet Users - After this update the tablet device users were unable to install the latest version of my app from google play store. The installation screen shows Your device isn't compatible with this version error message for new tablet users(Attached Screenshot for reference).
For existing tablet users the update is not available , they are still using the previous version.
I have searched for solutions and tried the most common solutions posted in the internet. I already tried the below solutions and none of them fixed the issue
- Restarting Device
- Clear cache & Clear Data of Google Play Store App
- Uninstall Google play updates
- Updating the Android OS
- Clear cache & Clear Data of Google Services Framework
- Side loading the app (Downloading the APK file using a browser from other place like google drive) - This one works but still i need my app available for tablet users in Google play store.
Below are some of the key changes i have made in the application code in the new build
In this update i have Migrated to AndroidX.
In this update, i have updated to Java 11.
