Android app not "designed for tablets" due to drawables

Question

Google Play states that my app is not designed for tablets: "Your APK should include custom drawables assets for common tablet screen densities." It links to 4. Use assets designed for tablet screens on the Tablet app quality page. I'm trying to understand how I'm not compliant with section 4, and I'd appreciate insights.

1. Is section 4 on tablet assets even accurate for Action Bar icon sizes? It looks like 32dp is the specified size (32x32px at mdpi), but that appears to conflict with the material touch target size specification, which specifies 24dp. I use 24dp assets from the Google material-design-icons suite for my Action Bar (Toolbar), and there is no such thing as a 32dp Android icon in the suite.

2. I have included drawable-xhdpi, drawable-xxhdpi, and drawable-xxxhdpi PNG drawable assets in my project, but I have not included drawable-hdpi assets. Could this be the reason why I'm not "designed for tablets?" The documentation states that all drawables should be "optimized for at least one" of hdpi, xhdpi, xxhdpi, or xxxhdpi sizes, and I have done this for at least one.

3. My launcher icon sizes are correct and include mdpi - xxxhdpi versions (mipmap-mdpi, mipmap-hdpi, etc.).

Answer 1

For anyone struggling with this, I submitted the Design for Tablet Contact Form, which you can use to let Google know why you believe your app is designed for tablets (even though it is not labeled as such). Google reviewed my submission and agreed, and the app is now labeled as designed for tablets.

Before submitting the form, you should make sure that your app meets the Tablet App Quality Checklist first.
