Android : Unsupported devices due to your manifest settings

If you have seen the error message

"Unsupported devices due to your manifest settings"

It may be one of the scenario, be aware of the permission provided in the manifest file.

Everyone knows there is “android.permission.SEND_SMS” permissions in manifest file which supports android.hardware.telephony feature.

uses-feature is used to filter the app in market or Google play. 

When we support large and Ex-large devices in android, we should be aware of few points.

As, we know most of large and Ex-large devices of android won’t support “android.hardware.telephony”. So, when you publish the app into market, we won’t able to see the app from Google play when you search in those devices, since telephony feature is not supported.

So, we need to add the below line, it means that the application prefers to use the feature if present on the device.

<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.telephony" android:required="false" />
