However, when we try to upload the package, we get this error message “Reduced Device Support” error message.

How we update the devices?  
Thank you.

Hello,

Thanks for posting. When you upload your Android binary file on the [Upload Your App File](https://developer.amazon.com/docs/app-submission/upload-app-file.html) screen, on the **Target Your App** screen, in the [Supported devices](https://developer.amazon.com/docs/app-submission/target-app.html#supported-devices) section, you can click **Edit supported devices** to see whether your binary file is supported by a particular device. If it isn’t supported, it will be dimmed and unable to be selected. You can move your mouse over the info tooltip and see the reason. Here’s an example:

 ![supported-devices.TTH](https://d3mq594dkmpl37.cloudfront.net/original/1X/24f2507b3bafa8dc5b64aba3aae412509cfdd34e.png)

You will find the reason why the devices are no longer supported using this feature.

For more information, please see the document: [Troubleshooting Android Manifest and Device Filtering | App Submission](https://developer.amazon.com/docs/app-submission/troubleshooting-android-manifest-and-device-targeting.html)

Thank you for your email. Our question is how can we update the FireTV app builder so it is compatible with the latest FireTV devices. We downloaded the Amazon FireTV template but not seeing where or how we can update the library.

Please let us know as we’ve been asking Amazon support for the past 3 weeks regarding this.

Hi Randy,

Sorry about the late reply and thanks for your patience.

Fire App Builder has reached its end of standard support. For the latest Fire TV samples, see the [GitHub for @AmazonAppDev](https://github.com/amazonappdev).

Thanks,

Moses

Well, thank you for answering, however this question was posted over 1 year ago. Will this Fire App version I have continue to work? I checked today and seems to be working.
