Question

I’ve developed an application for Android that cannot be download to Android ICS devices from the Market. Browsing the market with a 4.x device people see a “not compatible warning” and cannot proceed with the download. The app has a minSdkVersion setting of 7. It works well on 2.x and 3.x Android devices.
I don’t know what to do and how I can fix this. Do I need to setup anything special in order to be compatible with ICS? I cannot find any information on this subject.

Update: I just received confirmation that installing the APK by hand works on a 4.0 device. It just won’t install through the market! Again, it shows as “not compatible for your device” in the market. Any ideas?

</manifest>

Could it be the theme? the theme is not anything special. It simply inherits from Theme.Black.NoTitleBar

<style name="NatuurijsTheme" parent="android:Theme.Black.NoTitleBar"></style>

Is your app copy-protected under “publishing options” in the play store publish section? Source: My Android App shows as "this item is not compatible with your device"
