Android Question targetSdkVersion=30

[Alex_197]

Hi all.

I have 2 questions.

1. Do I need to change my from targetSdkVersion=29 to targetSdkVersion=30 now?
2. Is there any previous Android versions such between 4 and 10 that don't support targetSdkVersion=30 ?

Because as far as I know some of my users still using phones with Android between 6 and 10 and I put the update with targetSdkVersion=30 will it work on their phones or should I keep targetSdkVersion=29 for now?

Thanks.

If you don’t publish to PlayStore put whatever you want. You will be forced to target 30 by August 2021 if you publish to PlayStore.

The one that controls your app's availability for previous android versions is minSdkVersion, so as long as you don't change that you're good (and also are careful about trying to use new APIs in older android versions).

It is explained here:
android.jar / targetSdkVersion / minSdkVersion
