Availability in Google Play

[older]

I have Novo7 Paladin tablet: http://www.ainovo.com/novo7paladin-specs.html and I don't see AntennaPod in Google Play on this device. At the same time other podcast managers (podkicker, doggcatcher) are available. Also, I downloaded and installed apk on this device and it works perfectly.

Is there something in android manifest which could be the reason for this?

The only reason i could think of was that i had disabled support for smaller screen sizes, so i enabled it in version 0.9.4.6. Apart from that, the device only has to meet the following requirements:

• Android version 2.3.3+
• Touchscreen
• Wi-Fi
• android.hardware.screen.landscape, android.hardware.screen.portrait

The new version should be available in Google Play in an hour or two.

No, it didn't help. When I'm opening google store link in market application it says "this version is not compatible with your device".
Maybe there is something missing in manifest?

Is it the free version of Podkicker that is compatible with your device ? If it is, i can compare the two apk files and see what is causing the problem.
Could you also give me the model number of your device? It should be in Settings > About > Model number. Then i can find the device in the list of supported devices in the Android Developer Console.

It is both Podkicker and Podkicker Pro. But here are links to some opensource apps I've installed from google play on this device:

https://github.com/k9mail/k-9

Model number is NOVO7PALADIN. Android version 4.0.3. I don't think this device (as many other cheap Chinese devices) is officially supported by Google. But it comes with Google Marked preinstalled and it works.

@older Many open source apps (including antennapod) are available in fdroid.

I know that this is not a solution to your problem, but you could install antennapod from there if you don't want to download the apk from the github download section.

I compared the manifests and the only additional feature that my app requires seems to be android.hardware.screen.portrait. I will make this feature requirement optional in the next version (which is probably going to be released on Friday), so that Google Play shouldn't filter your device anymore.

There are more things that would be interesting to know about your device:

1. Does it support portrait orientation?
2. If you go to the Audio player screen in AntennaPod, is it in portrait or landscape orientation? And if you rotate the device, does the layout orientation also change?

1. Yes, it does support portrait orientation. Just checked google maps app. When I rotate device it switches portrait/landscape.
2. AntennaPod main screen does change orientation but player screen doesn't. It is always in portrait.

The new version with the updated manifest should now be available in the Play store.

It worked. Now I've downloaded it from google play.
Thank you.
