App incompatible in Galaxy Tab 10.1/ large screen tablets after recent update

Faced this problem after a recent update to our app.

Fixed it by releasing new apk with this change in the manifest file.

<supports-screens android:resizeable="true"
              android:smallScreens="true"
              android:normalScreens="true"
              android:largeScreens="true"
              android:xlargeScreens="true" />

More info can be found in android documentation.

Our app was with minSdk = 8 and target sdk = 17 and we didnt face any issues until recently.
