Galaxy S24 Ultra "This app isn't compatible with your device

PostWed Feb 19, 2025 10:01 pm

I have a Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra phone and when I look at the Blackmagic Camera app at the Google Play Store, I see the following message: "This app isn't compatible with your device anymore. Contact the developers for more info." (Screenshot attached).
Why am I getting this message now. Also, when is a log profile coming to this app. This app has been out on Android for about a year and I still can't say that I can stop using Filmic Pro because I feel like the Android version of this app feels half baked when compared to the iOS version.
I hope someone from the Blackmagic team would respond to this post.
Thanks in advance.

You should ask to Samsung team, not to Blackmagic Design team. It’s a reason that I hate Android world, every brand is an island.

When you develop under android (also if people thought is a free os) you could find is a worst os where develop, be cause every brand change Os and lock or release the ability of developer to use hardware directly.
This mean you can do an app for a model, and not work on another model also if superior like hardware.
I bought tons of video photo app under android to discover that moving from one phone to another I can’t use them be cause not compatible or full compatible.
Samsung (my last android) was the worst about compatibility under photo video app, they not release the access to app directly to hardware, that mean a developer cannot profile sensor or use directly data.
Most of app that worked on my Sony and lg not are enable under Samsung s22, and someone that work are not full feature like Sony.
Android is bad arena unfortunately.
Good luck

There's a reason why Cine Meter was never released under Android. Too difficult to calibrate.
On an iPhone it's quite close to a Minolta or Sekonic, in low light even better.
Sorry if this seems too off-topic.

is in line with the topic.
Android is considered an open system, but on the developer side it's a nightmare, because having thousands of devices, all misaligned on the OS side, it's virtually impossible to profile, or create calibrations.
As in other cases, Blackmagic will have done tests with different devices and chosen those most open to hardware app communication, and unfortunately Samsung is not one of them.
There are so many apps I have under iOS that I would have liked to have under Android, but I saw that even with three phones of different brands, albeit high-end, same OS, I had such different answers that I desisted.

I wish there were better collaboration, at least with flagship Android brands like Samsung and Google. It should be a win-win for everyone involved. By refusing to work with Blackmagic, these Android companies are only hurting themselves, pushing more consumers toward Apple.

i saw that some google pixel are compatible, that mean with some of them it work.

i read up that David had a working app on his Samsung s24 Ultra, do you have Us version? or what?
i discover that different place had different (localized) version of Android, in past i used Us firmware for my Sony (i should put in developers mode to force to inject different firmware than italian/european) to have compatibility for a photo app to record raw photos that i cannot install on my italian firmware.

check if you have latest Os version and what firmware, could be the key point for compatibility.
