Is it possible to get access to the manifest file for an app?
Id like to exclude tablets but it looks like I need to add a line to the manifest to do that.

Yes, you can change the manifest. The location of the default manifest is next to the LiveCode app in /Applications/LiveCode 5.5.app/Contents/Tools/Runtime/Android/Manifest.xml. In OS X, this is inside the app bundle.
Make a copy of that with the same name and alter the copy. Move the original out somewhere and put the revised one in. Build the standalone. It would be a good idea to put the original back in when you're done.
I found that adding extra lines sometimes causes a failure to build. I was only able to change the existing lines. I don't know if that's always true, or just true for my app.
