Google Play Store "Your device is not compatible with this version"
I see many questions about this problem, but there is no definitive answer. We are an app developer and have recently launched 2 new apps on Google Play Store. We tested these applications on a Sony Ericsson phone (2.3.4) with less mention of MinSDkVersion in the Manifeast.xml file. The APK installs successfully without any problem. We tried on another phone with OS version 2.3 but showed the same problem on google store.
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="9"
android:targetSdkVersion="17" />
- When we visit the Google Play Store today, we see the error "Your device is not compatible with this version."
- We see the same message for all other applications that we have developed previously. The same apps were installed using the Google Play Store successfully a week ago. all apps now show the same problem in the Google Play Store.
Many of our users complain that they don't see our app in the play store.
Something has changed?
Here's another interesting thing. By viewing the application through the Chrome browser. He says the device is compatible.
Clicking on install. It starts the installation and fails with the error "Failed to load due to error (942)

Chances are you made some changes that may not work in version 2.3, as you said it works great for up to a week. This means that you have made some changes that now do not work for version 2.3 Thus, "This device is not compatible with this version" on the official website
are there any such updates from Google

It seems that your application requires a feature that one of the devices does not support.
You should also check if your AndroidManifest.xml
,
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="9" />
You want your app to work on devices with API 9 and up (not API 9 through 17). The above code will ensure that your application works with all devices above API 9. Note that you don't want to use the attribute at all android:maxSdkVersion
(as you are currently using it) .
Update
Try clearing data from download manager (settings-apps-everything) and open the store, then delete your google account, then go to the play store and ask you to link your account after this app download attempt. (This worked for me).
