Is it still the case that none of your devices are able to launch Flutter Galler App? In an unfortunate coincidence the build that was published to Play Store right before the Dart Summit was flawed and declared that it is incompatible with most of the devices except for latest generation ones. This was rapidly fixed - but fixed build did not get into the Play Store on time.

I just checked my Moto G 3rd generation again and it doesn't work. There is a corresponding open issue, but it makes me leery about using it for now.

I didn't bother to test it again.

Just tried it now on a Samsung S3 (Android 4.3).

It does launch now, just the rendering is a bit wrong.

The Android Application bar overlaps with the one generated by Flutter, thus only showing the lower half.

Yes, that is the one.
