app not available on all Android devices

[Alex GG]

Hi Maryna,

I read the document, but still cant make it work.

This is what I did:

1. untick the camera permission

2. create new APK (now more devices are compatible, like the xperia E1)

3. submit to Google Play

4. Update the app on device, and the QR feature didnt work.

   I really need your help team,
   What do I need to do, to have more compatible devices, (Xperia E1) and have the QR scanner working?

   Regards

Hi,

I included this on the AndroidManifest:

uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera" android:required="false"

But still got the same error...

What should I do???

I cant continue testing with app, I really need to solve this issue. Users reported now that the QR scanner is not working.

Hello!

Did you set pre<uses-permission android:name="android&#46;permission&#46;CAMERA" />/pre?

Hi Maryna,

No I didnt set that permission.

If I understand, I have to set the camera permission in order to the bar code scanner to work? And add this " uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera" android:required="false" , to the AndroidManifest?

Hi Alex,

Did you get it working using this approach?

Hi KAtya,

I set the camera on the Android Permissions, and then on the AndroidManifest add this:
uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera" android:required="false"

And its working now, I have more available devices for my app.

Thanks!
