@Taifun

Starting August 31 2024:

• New apps and app updates must target Android 14 (API level 34) or higher to be submitted to Google Play

It is already requiring API 34

What happens if you click “Mas información”?

Also

@Taifun

You will be able to request an extension to November 1, 2024 if you need more time to update your app.

I mean that Google says “As of August 31” but the truth is that it is no longer a notice or warning, but as of today it already takes it as an error and does not allow updating.

[Taifun]

Let me repeat my question

@Taifun

What happens if you click “Mas información”?

Taifun

[Gaston (zodiaclogic)]

I understand what you mean, requesting an extension, etc.
What I am saying is that why do they indicate that it comes into effect as of August 31 if it is already a requirement.

The target API level is required to be updated by August 31, 2024 in order to release updates for your app. Languages ​​Jul 4, 2024 17:24 We’ve determined that your app is targeting an older version of Android. To provide a safe experience for users, Google Play requires that all apps meet the requirements of the target API level. As of August 31, 2024, if your app doesn’t target an API level released within one year of the latest Android version, you won’t be able to update your app. i need help how i can do this i donot know about java

this method works as a charm for API 34. I updated apk and then make aab from the phone and update my app.

Hey please update the builder fast we cant wait more. Please at least provide any expectation date please

[Taifun]

what Google said here Meet Google Play's target API level requirement  |  Android Developers

So let me quote the most important parts from that link

Starting August 31 2024:

• New apps and app updates must target Android 14 (API level 34) or higher to be submitted to Google Play

And

You will be able to request an extension to November 1, 2024 if you need more time to update your app. You’ll be able to access your app’s extension forms in Play Console later this year.

Today is July 17th.
So if you get an error and you are not able to proceed, ask Google what is going on and ask them to follow their own rules they defined there

[NEED]

When will come the api 34 update

[Luca_Caputo]

They told me on the discord channel that they are working on it

[Zagal]

An extension can be requested in the Google Play console until November 1 and they grant it to you without problems.
