A message saying the app could not be found with absolutely no explanation
as to WHY, leading to many confused individuals that then flood the Android
Market "Support" forum with the same questions every single day.

[android-developers] Marketplace behavior when version is wrong.

2010-06-22 Thread Chris Hessing

All -

I am wondering how the marketplace handles a specific situation.

Assume I write an app that is for 2.1 and up.  I then put a market:// 
link on my web page that advertises the app.   A user with a version 
lower than 2.1 comes to my web page and clicks the link, which in turn 
causes the marketplace to open up and try to find the app.


What does the user see?  Are they just told the app isn't found?  Are 
they told it isn't supported on their version of Android?  Or do they 
get some other error?


Has anyone tried this?   (I know I could publish a quick 'Hello World' 
app and find out, but I figured I would ask first. ;)


Thanks!
