How to customize the Manifest → example: Companion APK

[Makerubi]

@bodymindpower

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" ... >
    <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="19" android:targetSdkVersion="30" />
    ...
</manifest>

on google play it’s possible to publish only .aab

And APK Editor only packages .apk

What do I do?

@gustavo_queiroz

What do I do?

There are 2 options (without Android Studio):

1. Wait for the Kodular update (targetSdk = 30).
2. Import your project into Niotron (however there may be some unsupported / different components).

What is the average timeline of kodular releases api level upgrades. Does it normally take more than one month?

Sorry for asking this question, I’m new to kodular and it’s been one month my app is ready to get published, but waiting for kodular upgrade.

@Adventures_of_Heman

I’m new to kodular and it’s been one month my app is ready to get published, but waiting for kodular upgrade.

I’ve also been working on an app for several months. So I uploaded & published this as APK (before it was finished and before Aug 1, 2021) in the Play Store as an internal test track. This means that I can continue to upload and publish this app as an APK in the Play Store at any time.

I did the same for two other apps that are being planned as a precaution (because I had known for many months that there would be problems with decompiling AABs.)

Does this method work in sept?

[Vinayrev (Vinay Revankar)]

i doubt its going to happen this year. Good opportunity to learn android development and break free from kodular and other app builders.

What are you talking about?

[Vinayrev (Vinay Revankar)]

1. My question is, does your method work in sept? Because you’re recompiling app to apk and play store only accept aab files.

2. The target level 30 is unlikely to be incorporated in kodular by this year. Maybe by the end of next year or 2023. Since kodular took ages to update facebook ads SDK alone.

@Vinayrev

play store only accept aab files

No, the Play Store will of course continue to accept APKs.
See here:

[Vinayrev (Vinay Revankar)]

I’m trying to publish a new app today. So your method is unlikely to work? Since it’s being published after Aug 1.

[bodymindpower (Anke)]

Yes, this topic is about decompiling and customizing the Manifest of an → APK.

[Vinayrev (Vinay Revankar)]

Is there a solution for AAB file?

[bodymindpower (Anke)]

How about searching?

[Adventures_of_Heman]

Yes, already migrated to Niotron.

[bodymindpower (Anke)]

@Adventures_of_Heman

migrated to Niotron

From 1 Aug 2021 targetSdkVerion = 30 (Android 11) for new apps!

I did several tests with Niotron and AI2 after the targetSdk = 30 release. There are still some (serious) bugs (Niotron and AI2) … @Diego @pavi2410 @Vishwas see here (I’ll post a bug report for AI2 later):
