Steps to reproduce:

1. Install LineageOS 21 Nightly Build (e.g., lineage-21.0-20240525-nightly-bonito-signed.zip) on a device such as Google Pixel 3a XL.
2. Install Google services using MindTheGapps.
3. Set up a Google account and attempt to locate the app on the Google Play Store or access directly via the app’s Play Store URL.
4. Observe the incompatibility message displayed on the Google Play Store.

Actual results:

The app shows as incompatible on devices running LineageOS 21 when accessed via the Google Play Store, despite the app functioning properly when manually installed.

What I Tried and What I Was Expecting

I attempted to distribute my Flutter app via the Google Play Store to devices running LineageOS 21, expecting it to be discoverable and downloadable just like on devices with standard Android versions. To test this, I used the same Google account to search for the app on another Pixel device running the official Android 14, where I could easily find and download the app from the Google Play Store. However, when attempting the same process on a device running LineageOS 21, the app was flagged as incompatible, which was unexpected given its availability and functionality on other Android devices. Despite this, I manually installed the APK on the LineageOS device and found that the app operated without any issues, further confirming that the app itself is compatible with LineageOS. This discrepancy in app accessibility between LineageOS and standard Android versions was surprising and leads me to suspect a potential compatibility or recognition issue within the Flutter framework or the Google Play Store’s handling of custom ROMs.
