I have tested my app apk on both my Galaxy Note 2 phone and my Galaxy Note 8 tablet. It runs fine on both, but when I search for it in the Google Play App Store it will not show up as being downloadable for the Galaxy Note 8 tablet.

Is there something I need to do in my build that would make the apk available for the tablet also? (Or do I need to create a separate apk for the tablet)?

Hello! Please take a look here http://developer.android.com/guide/pr... and here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/76...

Maryna,

I am having this issue too. Here is what my manifest says. It appears that I have it set up for small screens and large screens. What am I doing wrong? I thought since I hadn't made any changes to the manifest that the default would be for both handsets and tablets.

Sorry. Here is the code...

code<manifest xmlns:android="http:&#47;&#47;schemas&#46;android&#46;com/apk/res/android"
android:versionCode="3"
android:versionName="1&#46;3" package="io&#46;appery&#46;project111604">
<!-- GCM requires Android SDK version 2&#46;2 (API level 8) or above&#46; -->
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" android:targetSdkVersion="8"/>

<supports-screens android:largeScreens="true"
android:normalScreens="true" android:smallScreens="true"
android:resizeable="true" android:anyDensity="true" />/code

Also, the screenshots provided for my app in the Google Play store show the phone and tablet screenshotsa even though I am accessing the store with my phone. Shouldn't the apk tell Google Play which images to show based on which device is accessing the store?

Here is a screenshot for my previous comment...

Hello Jay,

Unfortunately we do not have information how Google Play Market should show screenshots. You can find it in Play Market support.

Evgene,

I have some information from Google Play as to why the app is not available in the Google Play store for tablets. Apparently, I have a telephone number that is linked so you can call us if you tap the button. How do I set this up so it is available for phones but the button disappears if the app is used by a tablet? Here is the response from Google Play...

"Hi Jay,

Thank you for your message. I understand you're unable to find your app on an Asus Transformer Pad TF300. The reason is because your app is incompatible with the TF300, as indicated by the Developer Console (please see screenshot). Please note that you can check this list at any time to see whether your app is compatible with any device, as well as manually exclude any devices if you wish.

The reason your app is incompatible with the TF300, and probably many other tablets, is due to the app's following features:
android.hardware.location.network, android.hardware.telephony

As you may be aware, the TF300 does not support features like making phone calls. If you wish to resolve the compatibility issue, you might want to remove these features from your app's manifest.

I hope this helps resolve your inquiry. If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to let me know."

Regards,
Ed
