Ahah! Problem solved.

So XDK exported 2 files in the zip one an x86 and the other ARM

The newer phones loooooove ARM and hate x86. Seems by default it was trying to install x86

By default XDK was set to use crosswalk.

I also attempted to use cocoon.io but I kept getting a compile error

COMPILER ERROR:

I've tried a billion times to export to xdk then try to use my apk on my phone and it keeps giving me an upsupported phone type. I'm trying to have my game work on samsung s7.

Right now it seems to be working on only older phones.

Has anyone had anything similar to this?
