Cannot install on WiFi only devices

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Getting a "not compatible with your device" when installing on a WiFi only 
Motorola Xoom running Honeycomb.

My guess is that it requires access to phone, sms, etc. for some reason.

My Archos 101 is wifi only and I never received this error. Perhaps this issue 
is Honeycomb related?

Me too. I was able to sideload it without issue, though. It seems that the 
Market is the only thing blocking it.

Thank you for the tip. To install the application, simply go into the download 
section and download the apk file. You xoom tablet will recognize the file type 
and install it. It is a simple as that.

It may have something to do with the phone access permissions required by the 
app... maybe an alternate version without the phone related functionalities 
would do the trick.

Indeed. If the devs were to remove the phone and SMS permissions from the 
manifest.xml file prior to compilation, I believe that would have a good chance 
to solve the problem.

Now, whether or not that would throw permission denied exceptions throughout 
the app would be another issue. =p After using the app for several weeks, 
though, I don't see anything that seems to use that functionality directly.

Google has posted an article for optimizing existing apps for Honeycomb.  I'm 
linking to the telephony anchor, which I believe is the problem from XBMC 
remote.

http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/optimizing-for-3.0.html#Telephony

The telephony feature should be optional, and the app should check for this 
feature at runtime before offering the SMS and pause phone state.

Thanks for the link will have a look at it and hopefully make it possible to 
install the app through the market for wifi only devices.
