SDK info in B4A Installation Guide page.

[Sagenut]

It looks that for many users that frequent the forum just from time to time the main problem when updating B4A is that they don't know when it's needed to substitute the SDK with the latest one.
I would suggest to add on the B4A Installation Guide page a line, in bold, in the SDK section with wrote
"This SDK and Resources version is needed from B4A XX.XX"
Probably someone will still miss this, but it could help.

Cheers

You can see which jdk you are using under "Configure paths"

Note that you confused JDK with SDK.
The problem that I am pointing out is that often many members update only B4A, but they are not informed when it's needed to redownload even the newest Android SDK + Resources.
Just like now with B4A 13.40

Maybe a check built into the IDE itself, if the path is containing the required SDK version, may help

I often read the details of what's new and special notes when a new beta or full version release. So I usually don't face issue.

Members should decide when to update especially if they are developing for production.

Advice them not to rush to update. Read and understand carefully what's changed.

Recently Google announced a lot of breaking changes.
One of the app I support breaks on Android 15.
It is really frustrating.

I believe this is not only happening to B4X developers but also in other language like React Native too.

Developing for Android means we have to keep up to date with Google frequent changes.
Good thing is B4X and Erel has simplified all the hustle.

Sometimes, we have tried our best to help the members but if they don't listen, that's nothing much we can help.
