I have an application that is designed for Tablets only, but the Google Play store allows it to be downloaded on phones. This is causing bad reviews from users thinking it's for phones ! (even though I specifically indicate "Tablet Only" in the description
Unlike iPads, there doesn't seem to be a setting for "Tablets only" in the 'Standalone Applications Settings" for Android devices. Apparently I can change the manifest to select device sizes (as shown below), but I'm not sure how to do this once the standalone is built. I tried playing around with it in Android Studio but no luck. I hope I'm just missing something simple
<supports-screens
android:largeScreens="true"
android:normalScreens="false"
android:requiresSmallestWidthDp="600"
android:smallScreens="false"
android:xlargeScreens="true" />
thanks for any suggestions.

Re: Android "Tablets ONLY" standalone ?
Edit the existing manifest from your built standalone and save it somewhere as a text file. In LC standalone settings, put the revised manifest in the Copy Files pane, then rebuild the app. LC will use your revised manifest instead of the default one.
