Will support ever come to a Samsung Galaxy Tab 4?

I would love to play this game on my Galaxy Tab 4, but its not available to download on that tablet. I can however download it to my very cheap LG phone that can barely run the game. I was curious why this game is not supported on the Galaxy Tab 4.

    I'm running it on my Galaxy Tab 4, flawlessly at that. Runs without any hiccups, downloaded just fine. What message are you getting?

    In the Google Play app store, it says "Your device isn't compatible with this version." and will not let you install the game.

    what kind of answer is that ? replying with a link that explain same problem but on a phone that has different processors isn't helping.

    samsung galaxy tab 4 has a Quad core ARM Cortex-A7 processor which is the same for every tab 4 7". Plus installing a game apk downloaded on internet is not a solution because of viruses. I prefer downloading from google playstore.

    Was just asking because dancyclist said he downloaded it on his tab 4 so I wanted to know how since the playstore doesn't even show it in the results when I search for the game.

    Try to be effective when you reply to a post or at least polite if you just want to collect replies !

    What's the different if write about phone processor or tablet? Problem Is this same and can be resolved the same way.

    Not every .apk file has viruses, I've downloaded so much times .apk's (because of problems with compatibility, like yours) and never had virus.

    Btw, I don't care for the XPs or collecting replies, just wanna help and as you could see I helped for at least one person with compatibility issue.

    Should work 🙂

    No.

    Side loading an .apk is not a solution.  It is at best an ill-conceived work-around. 

    The real solution is for EA to figure out what is wrong with how it is uploaded to the Play store and get it fixed. It is also possible that it has something to do with Samsung's "enhancements" to Android.

    I borrowed a friends galaxy 4 tab and I could also not find the app in the store. I have it on my Android Acer Tab, but it was not available on my friends galaxy 4. So, I am curious as well as to how some were to get this. No suggestions on n this thread or others have worked to get it on my friends tab.
