> The simplest (which requires no changes) of Google to asking you to sign a few dozen different versions of your app for different models. That idea is easy to reject because it would be "too cumbersome" and require re-uploading the same app package repeatedly, but it would work. I used to do J2ME app development back in the day. It wasn’t unusual for our apps to have 200+ builds. These weren’t just different assets, they also included workarounds for device specific bugs (j2me phones were buggy as hell, especially Samsung phones). In some cases we even had multiple builds for one phone, because carriers liked messing with the firmware. Vodafone was notorious for this. When Android and iOS took over we finally could leave that behind, at least for a while, then Android started fragmenting like crazy and now we’re almost back to square one.
