Does NFC permission result in an error when the device has no support?

I have taken NFC permission in AndroidManifest.xml and I uploded my app to PlayStore. Now My question is, if device doest not support NFC and I try to install app from playstore. Does it gives an any kind of error? Does app atleast install on that device. I don't have any non supported NFC devices to test this situation.

Play Store won't give any error and will let the users install the app, if you have not mentioned the relevant uses-feature tag in manifest file. Now, once installed, while trying to get NfcManager instance, it'd be null. Refer to this doc on how to request NFC access.

NfcManager manager = (NfcManager) context.getSystemService(Context.NFC_SERVICE); // null

The better practice, here, is that we should include uses-feature in manifest file to let Play Store know that our app has certain hardware dependency and we don't want the app to be available for the devices which do not consist of this set of hardware(defined in uses-feature tag).

For example:

<uses-feature 
     android:name="android.hardware.nfc" 
     android:required="true"/>
