I have an existing app available on playstore which runs on min sdk 15. I had made some changes and try to update my app and when I uploaded my apk everything goes fine but before the publish on review section , playstore gives me a warning as below

Device support removed Warning

Deactivation of this APK will result in your app being available for new installs on fewer types of devices.

TipIf this is an unintended change, then retain this APK in the new release or ensure that your new APKs support all currently supported devices.

after seeing this warning i have search different forums to know what cause the problem

link 1

link2

most of my search indicate that if i have specify something in manifest like android:required="false" screen support tags etc

but the thing is i have not added any new library or hardware feature only added some new classes, i have no idea what makes the issue. i will show how my manifest and gradle looks for the existing app in playstore and my new update

My existing App gradle and manifest

Please check this answer and the comments. Most of the times it would be because of some manifest changes and some screen support or new permissions added and hence would be a good to go thing.
