Google Play seems to think my apk was not designed for tablets!

I just wanted to report that after submitting my app to Google Play, they detected that my app was not properly designed for tablets. Refer to the attached screenshot. It was published successfully and their system indicates that it's compatible with all their devices, but interesting that one of the optimization tips was to meet their criteria with the Production APK in order to support tablets. It goes on to say, "Designing your app for tablets can help you reach more customers on a wider variety of devices. Apps that are designed for tablets are showcased in the 'Designed for tablets' list in the Play Store." It then includes this link, which appears to be a setting issue in the sdk. http://developer.android.com/distribute/googleplay/quality/tablet.html#android-versions

So, what does this all mean?

...sorry, adding that my app was designed using the iPad format and overscan. The end result was an apk through GS that was tested successfully with adhoc.

It's a GameSalad thing. Has to do with the minimum sdk and some other majig. See here: https://forums.gamesalad.com/discussion/62360/your-apk-does-not-seem-to-be-designed-for-tablets-really
