Supported Android Devices = zero

Question

My app can't be found when someone looks for it from their google play app on their Android phone. (shows find when searched from browser). This is because Google Play says my app supports "0 devices".

The support chat person at Google play says this is the reason:

"Your app is not compatible with certain devices due to a conflict in your app’s manifest with the following: no supported native platform: armeabi, armeabi-v7a, and missing device features: android.hardware.faketouch, android.hardware.screen.portrait"

I can't figure out what the heck that means.

My manifest file is as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

        </receiver>
        <service android:name="com.deanblakely.SafeTalk.GcmIntentService" />

    </application>

</manifest>

My gradle file is as follows:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 25
    buildToolsVersion '26.0.2'
    useLibrary 'org.apache.http.legacy'  //httpClient not supported in 23.
    lintOptions { disable 'MissingTranslation' }
    defaultConfig {
        minSdkVersion 16
        targetSdkVersion 25
    }

    signingConfigs {
        releaseConfig {
            storeFile file("XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX");
            storePassword ("XXXXXXXXXX");
            keyPassword ("XXXXXXXXXX");
            keyAlias "XXXXX
        }
    }

    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            debuggable false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.txt'
            signingConfig signingConfigs.releaseConfig
        }
        debug {
            debuggable true
            applicationIdSuffix ".debug"
        }

    }
    flavorDimensions "stupidDimensionone"
    productFlavors {
        scFlavor
                {
                    applicationId 'com.deanblakely.SafeTalk.sc'
                    dimension "stupidDimensionone"
                }
        safetalkFlavor
                {
                    applicationId "com.deanblakely.SafeTalk"
                    dimension "stupidDimensionone"
                }
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile project(':dropboxChooserSDK')
    compile files('libs/gson-2.2.4.jar')
    compile files('libs/microsoft-translator-java-api-0.6.2-jar-with-dependencies.jar')
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25+'
    compile 'com.android.support:design:25+'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:9.4.0'
    compile 'org.apache.directory.studio:org.apache.commons.io:2.4'

}

This didn't used to be this way. I suppose it is another breaking change. Anyone know what is causing this?

Answer 1

As usual I am answering my own question . . .

I made the following replacement in my gradle . . .

//compile 'org.apache.directory.studio:org.apache.commons.io:2.4'

compile 'commons-io:commons-io:2.6'

I found a post from somebody else that had the same problem. I don't know why it works and neither did the original person with the problem. I think this is either caused by buggy Google Play software and/or a complete lack of documentation.
