Device not tested during pre-launch Android
I've just uploaded an APK for an alpha release of my app (my first app). In the pre-launch report I received a message that a device wasn't tested. (Galaxy J7). I've reviewed the specs of the phone and I can't see any reason why my app wouldn't work on it. Is this normal?
I'd also note that pre-launch didn't flag this device as having an issue. No devices had an issue, it just specified that it didn't test this device.
Specifying a specific device it didn't test just seems a bit odd to me unless there was an issue. An analogy for my confusion is like taking your car to a mechanic to get your oil changed and the mechanic says "oil is changed, but I didn't look at your tires". By specifying he didn't do something makes me wonder if I should be looking into them.
The most likely reason is that that the device wasn't available. As you run the free version of something Firebase offers to paid customers, the free version isn't prioritized. It isn't device incompatibility that is the issue, it's more likely that there was no device available to handle the test at the time.
