Hi, users with Alcatel, and huawei have reported the app is not available for their phones.

The problem is not that the app doesnt work correctly, but that they cant find the app in the store!

Any ideas?

It looks like you should contact Google Play support with this. But this links might be useful for you: https://support.google.com/googleplay...

Ok, I ́ll check.

I just want to know if anything in the manifest files can be the cause of this.

Alex,

As far as we know, manifest files can't be the cause.

Hi,
I have read the links you provided, and according to this:

"....When determining whether to display your app, Google Play checks the device's hardware and software requirement, as well as it's carrier, location, and other characteristics. It then compares those against the restrictions and dependencies expressed by the application's manifest file and publishing details. ..."

the settings oin the manifests affect the availability of the app on the store.

After using the dynamic search feature I found this:

2465 devices are not available!!!!!!

My app only make use of:
geolacations services
push notification
and the min android version is set to 2.2.x
and target version is set to 4.2.x

Could you help me to find the right configuration (android permissions, manifest file) to make my app available to most devices?

I ́m loosing customers because of this, because they want to download the app to their phones and test the app before pay.. And they are right, so I promisse to came back with a solution..

Regards

Hello!

It is expected behavior your app is not accessible on all devices. In your app location permission is required, so users with devices where GPS is not supported won't be able to insatll your app. To reduce number of "No compatibles" try to delete unnesessary permissions (here is the list of permissions with description http://developer.android.com/referenc...), build app, upload to Google market and check that "No compatibles" value.
