Question

I have an Android Application that has the AndroidManifest.xml listed below. After uploading to Google Play, the Nexus 7 is listed as an UNSUPPORTED device and I am trying to figure out why. Of course Google Play doesn’t tell you why or what permission or use of the manifest is restricting it from being supported. Any ideas of which part of the code below is causing the Nexus 7 to be listed as unsupported?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.xxxx.xxxx.applet"
    android:versionCode="x"
    android:versionName="x.x" >

    <uses-sdk
        android:minSdkVersion="12"
        android:targetSdkVersion="14" />

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" /> 
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />

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

    <application
        android:name="com.xxxx.xxxx.xxxx.xxxx"
        android:hardwareAccelerated="true"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:largeHeap="true"
        android:logo="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Holo" >

        <activity
            android:name="MainActivity"
            android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation"
            android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
            android:label="@string/app_name"
            android:launchMode="singleTop" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
            </intent-filter>

            <meta-data
                android:name="android.hardware.usb.action.USB_DEVICE_ATTACHED"
                android:resource="@xml/device_list" />
        </activity>
</manifest>

Answer 1

This one:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />

It comes as a surprise to many because the Nexus 7 does have a front facing camera, but it seems that it does not count for the purposes of this particular permission.
