android - Separate apks for same app for Phone and Tablet on Google play -
i have app has 2 different designs depending on device. want keep orientation lock (landscape on tablet , portrait on phone). decided create separate apks , upload on google play , users download app depending on device have. approach advisable? if yes, steps can follow make sure works fine?
any appreciated.
the google play developer console provides 2 modes managing apks associated application: simple mode , advanced mode. can switch between these clicking link @ top-right corner of apk files tab.
simple mode traditional way publish application, using 1 apk @ time. in simple mode, 1 apk can activated @ time. if upload new apk update application, clicking "activate" on new apk deactivates active apk (you must click save publish new apk).
advanced mode allows activate , publish multiple apks each designed specific set of device configurations. however, there several rules based on manifest declarations in each apk determine whether you're allowed activate each apk along others. when activate apk , violates 1 of rules, receive error or warning message. if it's error, cannot publish until resolve problem; if it's warning, can publish activated apks, there might unintended consequences whether application available different devices. these rules discussed more below.
