Thus, when it was tested on 4.3 by the testers, it failed. Unfortunately I am having difficulty correcting the error as it seems it involves a portion of code (Plugins) which has been deprecated in version 4.3 and, from what I can tell, will not be supported at all in the future. So my question is, since I cannot with my very simple coding skills fix the actual problem, is there a way to get around it? Can I force devices w/ higher APIs to use older versions so as to run my app? Hopefully this makes some amount of sense. Thanks.

I wonder if they can just tell from using the app or if they decompiled it. Comments Thats interesting. I wonder if they can just tell from using the app or if they decompiled it.

By "testers" I mean whoever at the Amazon Marketplace tests the submitted apps before approving them for sale. Not sure if it's man or machine. Comments Sorry for the lack of clarity.
