Only 311 devices supported (Google Play Store APK upload)

Question

I tried everything, removing permissions etc from AndroidManifest.xml , but nothing changes.

Play store:

Supported Android devices 311 devices 1 added

Developed the APP with Cordova, with a Samsung Galaxy Tab A, SDK 21 (which is not supported when I publish the app).

AndroidManifest.xml: <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?> <manifest android:hardwareAccelerated="true" android:versionCode="10200" android:versionName="1.2" package="com.yorbody.videochatclient" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> <supports-screens android:anyDensity="true" android:largeScreens="true" android:normalScreens="true" android:resizeable="true" android:smallScreens="true" android:xlargeScreens="true" /> <application android:hardwareAccelerated="true" android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name" android:supportsRtl="true"> <activity android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden|screenSize" android:label="@string/activity_name" android:launchMode="singleTop" android:name="MainActivity" android:theme="@android:style/Theme.DeviceDefault.NoActionBar" android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan"> <intent-filter android:label="@string/launcher_name"> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> </intent-filter> </activity> </application> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" /> <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="4" android:targetSdkVersion="21" /> </manifest> <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?> <manifest android:hardwareAccelerated="true" android:versionCode="10200" android:versionName="1.2" package="com.yorbody.videochatclient" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> <supports-screens android:anyDensity="true" android:largeScreens="true" android:normalScreens="true" android:resizeable="true" android:smallScreens="true" android:xlargeScreens="true" /> <application android:hardwareAccelerated="true" android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name" android:supportsRtl="true"> <activity android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden|screenSize" android:label="@string/activity_name" android:launchMode="singleTop" android:name="MainActivity" android:theme="@android:style/Theme.DeviceDefault.NoActionBar" android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan"> <intent-filter android:label="@string/launcher_name"> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> </intent-filter> </activity> </application> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" /> <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="4" android:targetSdkVersion="21" /> </manifest>

Answer 1

The solution was to use the: android-armv7-release-unsigned.apk

and not the: android-x86-release-unsigned.apk

Now 9999+ devices supported, and its working.

Answer 2

You will also need to check permissions requested by your referenced libraries. There is a high possibility that one of those libraries is requesting a permission which is not available in the device you want included.
