difference between and on Android

by

supports-screens

However, if your application does not work well when resized to fit
different screen sizes, you can use the attributes of the
element to control whether your application should
be distributed to smaller screens or have its UI scaled up (“zoomed”)
to fit larger screens using the system’s screen compatibility mode.

compatible-screens
Any screen configuration that is not declared in this element is a screen with which the application is not
compatible. Thus, external services (such as Google Play) should not
provide the application to devices with such screens.

So it seems supports-screens means your app’s layout works well for particular screen and will be scaled in other screens

And compatible-screens means your app is compatible with only specific screens and devices. Devices with screen configurations other than those listed, won’t be seen in the Play store.
