Why are my supported android devices so low?

Why are my supported android devices so low? I've tried to target the lowest possible apk (13), and yet only 12,000 devices can use my app.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Here is my build.gradle.

android {
signingConfigs {
}
compileSdkVersion 23
buildToolsVersion '25.0.0'
defaultConfig {
    applicationId "thomas.surfaceviewtest"
    minSdkVersion 13
    targetSdkVersion 13
    versionCode 5
    versionName "1.0.5"
    multiDexEnabled true
}
buildTypes {
    release {
        minifyEnabled false
        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
    }
    debug {
    }
}
dexOptions {
}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.4.0'
compile 'com.android.support:design:23.4.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:9.4.0'
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-ads:9.4.0'
}
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

Solution

  • Its because your target sdk level is low

    targetSdkVersion 13

    Update it to 25 so it will support more devices

    targetSdkVersion 25
