According to the Android Documentation [1], apps that (a) run as a service, and (b) launch at boot, should not be moved to the external storage as it will make the service to stop running in some cases. Since we need both things in KDE Connect, I think it's better if we don't allow moving it to the SD card. 

To mitigate the problem of phones with little internal storage, we try to maintain a small app size.
