a question about this thread > https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/87610/

I have an app that I just updated so I might aswell take advantage to have a look at these target requirements...

Use the latest version available to avoid compilation errors.

I see that it points here to the api 13 one, do I need to raise this if nothing in my app requires a higher api?


About the possible problem that might appear...

How do I know if there's an issue?
Does this show up when running the app in debug or release mode when 'pushed' over USB?
Is there a special dialog that appears when installing through the app store that I might not see over USB?

My app runs fine on my 6.x phone after changing the target to 26 does this mean all is fine?

The android.jar version doesn't matter as long as your app compiles properly.
There is no relation between android.jar version and targetSdkVersion.

No. You need to see the list of changes in that tutorial and test your app on Android 8 device.
