Harbour detects app version as 2.1.0.*, but it works on 2.0.5

From the “OS version limits” drop-down at harbour.jolla.com, I can only select “---” or “2.1.0.*” when submitting an app, but I would like to select 2.0.5 so I can see an own app in Jolla store and install it from there instead of deploying the RPM through SailfishOS SDK. I'm running 2.0.5.6 (Haapajoki) (armv7hl) on my device.

If that OS version detector is right and the app is really only compatible from e. g. 2.0.5.4 but would fail on all devices between 2.0.5.0 and 2.0.5.3, how can I know which features caused the incompatibility, so that I could refactor them for broader backwards compatibility?

Best regards

Amica

If you compile your App with the new SDK against Qt5.6 it won't work with earlier SailfishOS versions featuring Qt5.4(2)

It's all about the modules you use... For example: nemo configuration module makes it easy to store the user configuration for an app and is available for ages on Sailfish OS. But it's allowed in Harbour since 2.1.0.X.

My apps uses this module and they work on <2.1.0.X too but it's Harbour compatible only from 2.1.0.X and higher.

As @leszek answered here too, the SDK version plays also a roll. The modules from the newest SDK use QT 5.6 which is only allowed in 2.1.0.X
