Is Android 7.0 not supported anymore?

[mih344...@gmail.com]

I paid for this app a year ago, but when I looked at its Google Play page recently I found it not compatible with my device. The reason is not clear.

My cell phone is Android 7.0 and can not be upgraded to a higher Android version. So I wonder is it because the Android version? Is Android 7.0 not compatible anymore? The app version is currently stopped at 2.64.

Well, Klaus (kzed1704) just wrote about a problem he has and mentioned Android 6.

So Android 7.0 seems unlikely to be the culprit, I think.

Screen resolution?

I feel that your best bet would be to PM the author from inside the app.

Kind Regards,

Jochen

Hi,

I am working on a solution for the compatibility problem and will put an update online very soon.

Cheers

Dear Wolfgang,
Sorry to disturb you again, but I kinda found where the problem is. My phone, and many others alike, I believe, in China, since Google's services are forbidden by the government, does not have '/system/etc/permissions/com.google.android.maps.xml' and '/system/framework/com.google.android.maps.jar' files.

Then I found this "solution" on Stack Overflow (please forgive my rudeness), and thought what is written in that post may help. The tag ' <uses-library android:name="com.google.android.maps" />' was not found in your app of version 2.64 with Maps API v2, which I paid and installed successfully from google play store. But in 2.65 and later version, which out of curiosity I downloaded from some piracy websites, also with Maps API v2, this requirement starts to keep me from updating, as told by play store, 'not compatible with your device'. The post url is
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9868393/android-requires-unavailable-shared-library-com-google-android-maps-failing
.

I want to share this and leave everything to you to decide. I have little experience in Android development and wish that I can help a little.

Please forgive me for being absurd. Wish you a happy development life.
Sicerely,
Michael
