Android and Google play store

Google play store is the official download app for android smart devices. In order to make use of Play store, one must have Google play services and play store apk installed in their devices. While all of the two are free to all supported phones, tablets and etc, not all devices support them.

And for those devices which are eligible for installing the above applications, an active Google account has to be linked to the corresponding device. Having an account linked means easy downloads for as long as the device is being recognized. In cases where the Play store can’t recognize any devices linked, then the error above will show up.
