Developer Choice. Developers of Android apps need to explicitly make their apps available to move to the SD card using the “android:installLocation” attribute in the <manifest> element of their app. If they don't, the option to “Move to SD card” is grayed out.
From your Home screen, tap the Application screen icon. Find and tap Settings → Apps. Tap the On SD card tab. Select application, then tap Move to SD card.
Go to Settings > Apps and tap the app you want to move to your SD card. Next, under the Storage section, tap Move to SD Card. The button will be grayed out while the app moves, so don't interfere until it's done. If there's no Move to SD Card option, the app cannot be moved.
The Move to SD Card option becomes disabled when you have
android:installLocation="internalOnly"
or if you have not set the android:installLocation explicitly in your manifest file.
According to official documentation
By default, your application will be installed on the internal storage and cannot be installed on the external storage unless you define this attribute to be either "auto" or "preferExternal".
Add
android:installLocation="auto"
or
android:installLocation="preferExternal"
in your <manifest> tag
