Careful! Filters on Google Play
October 12, 2012 ◦ 1 min ◦
Recently Foodzy released a major update to their Android app. I had heard about it in the past and figured I would check it out. I went to install it from the Play Store and the only device that was listed as compatible was my HTC incredible. Even more intrigued I installed it and dumped the APK. Upon further inspection the manifest contained an un-needed requirement that explained why is only showed on one of my devices.
<uses-configuration android:reqFiveWayNav="true"/>
I let the developers at Foodzy know that they needed to remove just that line. The app now shows up on all the devices it should. When running into issues with apps not showing up on the play store store for certain devices, be sure to check the filter list here and remove any un-needed filters.
