I confirm that my Moto Z2 Force used to give the "This device is not compatible" and had to download the .apk to make it work. That said, I'm not aware of what creates this device block but if it helps, Moto Z2 Force is compatible with the app as it doesn't crash or behave strangely.
That said! The news need to be rigged so they won't alert you Everytime the "Character Creation Restrictions" get updated. I bet people wanna hear about real news instead of a continually updating thread.
