Answer 1

Do not use <compatible-screens> tag as adviced in developer_guide

instead use tag. For example:

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

Since you don't want to support tablets you should exclude android:xlargeScreens="true"

Answer 2

In my case it was the common-codecs dependency.

compile 'org.apache.directory.studio:org.apache.commons.codec:1.8'

The APK executed fine during internal testing but when published to Playstore , it was showing common-codecs as as a native library and the supported devices to be zero.

The fix was including a local .jar for it in the libs folder and compile using:

compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: '*.jar')
