My app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.picturesexperience.camera is not visible on any mobile device. Installs with no problem from the APK file (that is actually how I distribute my app right now), works perfectly, but for some reason Google Play doesn't list it. Any suggestions.
The app uses QR code scanning library from Zxing, everything else is custom coded.
The app's manifest:

To get to the developer options, open your device's Settings app and navigate to System > Advanced > Developer options > App Compatibility Changes.
Because Android is an open source project, any hardware manufacturer can build a device that runs the Android operating system. Yet, a device is "Android compatible" only if it can correctly run apps written for the Android execution environment.
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.CAMERA" />
...should be...
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera" />
The uses-feature
is case sensitive and lower case, so in effect you're stating that you're using a feature that does not exist on any device.
