How to prevent Corona apps from being installed in ARMv6

I have recently tested our latest app across a wide range of devices using App Thwack.
Now the good news is that if it works at all, it works well.
The bad news is that - as expected - it crashes on all ARMv6 devices.

Now App Thwack checks an app’s requirements beforehand and only tests on the devices that should work.
So how can I indicated (e.g. using “usesfeature”) that the app requires an ARMv7 processor?

I don’t mind the dropped support for older devices but would prevent those who have them to download the app from Google Play and leaving negative reviews. [import]uid: 10292 topic_id: 28551 reply_id: 328551[/import]

I *believe* when you upload to Google Play it populates a list of devices that can be used and no ARMv6 devices will appear here so these users wont even see your app on the store.

Hopefully someone who publishes to Google Play can confirm this? [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 28551 reply_id: 115101[/import]

You need to contact App Thwack on how to do this, because this is something that they have to support.

Google Play already supports filtering apps based on ARMv6 support, but not all app stores support this. The Amazon App Store is one of those stores that does not filter out ARMv6 devices unfortunately, unless they fixed it recently.
