Android - dynamically request camera access

I want to add the following permissions to my Android app, but doing so would block about 500 devices supported in my current build:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA"/>
<uses-feature android:name="android:hardware.camera" />
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera.front" android:required="false" />
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera.autofocus" />

Is there any way to conditionally request access to the camera for some OS's and not others? Is the only way to achieve this to release two apps?

If your app uses the camera but it's not a mandatory feature, you can set required attribute to false, as you did with your second feature.-

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA"/>
<uses-feature android:name="android:hardware.camera" android:required="false" />
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera.front" android:required="false" />
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera.autofocus" android:required="false" />
