[Interest] How does Google Play validates Android binaries?

[Nuno Santos]

Hi,

I’m having a serious issue with Android deployment and this is something recent. I’m starting to think that this was not happening on previous versions of Qt. I’m currently using Qt 5.4.2 and when I deploy to Google Play, on some devices the app is not compatible (the pattern seems to be high resolution devices). On my app manifest min SDK is 14 and target SDK is 21. I also have a support-screens directive with the following:

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

The most awkward issue here is that a couple of months ago, the same app was available to the same device and now it isn’t. There are some possibilities in my list:

- Google Play bug
- Android build tools incompatibility 
- Qt behaviour change on androiddeployqt

However I’m completely in the dark. I’m tired of making experimental builds and uploads with no positive results. 

Does any one knows how does Google Play analyses APK’s in order to determine if they are OK or not? 

The only thing Google tells me is: "unsupported native platform: armeabi, armeabi-v7a” However, APK’s were built for armeabi-v7a and x86, with a superior version number for x86.

The .apk works on development but isn’t allowed thru Google Play.

Is anyone here experiencing the same problem?

Thanks in advance!

Regards,

Nuno
