Android Java ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION permission retrieving ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION

I have an application that requires to use Fine Location, when I request Fine Location permissions, the dialog does not ask for accurate location, only approximate location.
I have tried on several devices, an Android Studio Emulator, on a Huawei and it does ask for permissions correctly, but when I try on a Samsung Galaxy A32 phone, it doesn't show me the accurate location option.
This is my Manifest:
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
package="***">
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

<uses-feature

android:required="true" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS" />
Request Permission
LocationRequest locationRequest = new LocationRequest();
locationRequest.setInterval(10000);
locationRequest.setFastestInterval(3000);
locationRequest.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY);
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
Log.d("message", "permission denied");
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(Dashboard.this, new String[]{Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION}, REQUEST_CODE);
return;
}
LocationServices.getFusedLocationProviderClient(this).requestLocationUpdates(locationRequest, new LocationCallback() {
#Override
public void onLocationResult(LocationResult locationResult) {
super.onLocationResult(locationResult);
...

Remove ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION declaration from manifest and try, else request for both ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION and ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION
If you try to request only ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION, the system ignores the request on some releases of Android 12
Follow this link

First ask for COARSE location.
And only after the user allowed that ask for FINE.

Android close testing - getting error of "Your device is not compatible with this version"

I have uploaded app on store in close testing.
I've become the tester of the app, but when I try to download app from my phone, it is saying me that "Your device is not compatible with this version"
I have some features that i want to test before publishing it on store for other users, so i have created one track with adding email id in testers in closed testing.
After track is released i have become the tester for the project wit WebLink and then i tried to download app from store, Then it is saying me that "Your device is not compatible with this version". It is showing my app name with (beta).
I've checked it is available for my country, Android version is also compatible with my phone. Also I have checked all the tester's team in Internal App Sharing Options.
It will be really helpful if someone can help me to sort my problem.

You may need to add support for multiple screens.
Use below given code in AndroidManifest.xml below the permissions and outside the application tag
<supports-screens
android:anyDensity="true"
android:largeScreens="true"
android:normalScreens="true"
android:resizeable="true"
android:smallScreens="true"
android:xlargeScreens="true" />

Push Notification not being displayed on a physical phone

I am using parse for my push notification, and the push notification works fine on emulators, but doesn't work on a physical device or a tablet.
Below is the code is used into the system:
ParseAnalytics.trackAppOpened(getIntent());
// inform the Parse Cloud that it is ready for notifications
PushService.setDefaultPushCallback(this, Activity.class, R.drawable.ic);
ParseInstallation.getCurrentInstallation().saveInBackground();
<uses-permission android:name="com.dooba.beta.permission.C2D_MESSAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS" />
<!-- for card.io card scanning -->
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.VIBRATE" />
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera" android:required="false" />
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera.autofocus" android:required="false" />

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>
Below is some manif code that deals with permission:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.VIBRATE" />

google play and tablet support

Hello i am trying to publish an app to google play, but for some reason tablets can't download it. After some research i found that we must specify some uses-feature on the manifest file. can you help me know which those are?
Here's a sample of the manifest:
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="16"
android:targetSdkVersion="19" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CONTACTS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SEND_SMS"/>

All I needed was this
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.telephony" android:required="false"></uses-feature>
and this:
<supports-screens android:smallScreens="true"/>
<supports-screens android:normalScreens="true"/>
<supports-screens android:largeScreens="true"/>
<supports-screens android:xlargeScreens="true"/>
