Some of the newer devices coming out from Google do not include an sd card, and it appears they are moving towards this direction.
My question: Is there a way to declare the sd card as a uses-feature to prevent people without an external storage from seeing/downloading the app from Google Play?
I realize this is not the correct way to address the issue, but until i can re-code my apps to anticipate this, I am hoping there is a filtering option in the manifest?
There is no
<uses-feature>which does what you want.What you could do is manually select the devices within your developer dashboard on Google Play. I know this is very inefficient and will probably take a lot of time but it’s the only way of achieving exactly what you want.
If you don’t want to bother with that then i would recommend that you include this information in your app’s description on Google Play and on top of that handle the situation when your application is started up for the first time (for example inform the user that the device is not supported because it has no external storage).
