Google Play says “This application cannot be optimized for your device” when I access the application page using my tablet

Question

When I access the page of my application on Google.

I get the following message: "This application cannot be optimized for your device"

I am testing Samsung Galaxy Tab4 10.1 - matissewifikx Android Version 5.0.2

My application is for tablets.

How can I tell Google my tablet app and delete this message?

Answer 1

This is the same as the old message "Designed for phones." Recommendations for getting your app marked as good tablet quality are given here .

Answer 2

You need to send at least one screenshot with a 7-inch tablet and one 10-inch tablet to your store’s list on the Google Play console.

For the app to appear in the "Designed for Tablets" list on the Play Store, you must upload at least one 7-inch and one 10-inch screenshot. If you previously downloaded screenshots, be sure to move them to the desired area below.

It is not clearly written that this is due to the message “This application may not be optimized for your device. But I presented 7-inch and 10-inch screenshots, and as soon as the update appeared, the message disappeared.

Answer 3

Google Quality Guides say: "To target minSdkVersion applications minSdkVersion value is less than 13, the <supports-screens> element must be declared with both android:largeScreens="true" and android:xlargeScreens="true" . " This is included in the <manifest> element of AndroidManifest.xml , for example:

 <manifest xmlns:android=….. <supports-screens android:largeScreens="true" android:xlargeScreens="true" /> etc 

Answer 4

You should check out optimization tips . It will definitely tell you what is missing in your application.

In my particular case, the message started minSdkVersion when I raised minSdkVersion to 19. The optimization page showed that I did not have enough resources for tablets.
