Android Question Question about android:targetSdkVersion 33

[Filippo]

Hi,

why is the recommended SdkVersion in B4a V12.20 still 31?

The recommended value for android:targetSdkVersion is 31 (manifest editor). (warning #31)

This is the current requirement by Google Play. It has nothing to do with compatibility: android.jar / targetSdkVersion / minSdkVersion

Should we stay out of 31, or switch to 33?
What do you think?

31

I've just received an email from Google Play:

Google Play

Starting August 31, 2023:​ New apps and app updates must target API level 33 to be submitted to Google Play (Wear OS must target API 30). Existing apps must target API level 31 or above to remain discoverable by all users on Google Play. Apps that target API level 30 or below (target API level 29 or below for Wear OS), will only be discoverable on devices running Android OS same or lower than your apps’ target API level.

Is it safe to move to 33 now?

 

[Erel]

No. You need to wait.

Is my app is ok ?

You should never post new questions in existing threads.

It looks fine.
