Hello Kodular Team,
I would like to request that Kodular be updated to support Android API Level 36 as soon as possible.
Google Play now requires new app updates to target API Level 36. Currently, Kodular only supports API Level 35, which means many developers, including myself, will soon be unable to publish updates to our existing apps on Google Play.
The deadline is August 31, 2026 , so we would greatly appreciate it if API Level 36 support could be added before then.
Many of us rely on Kodular for our apps, and keeping up with Google’s target API requirements is essential for maintaining and updating them.
Could the Kodular team please share:
- Whether API Level 36 support is already in development.
- An estimated release timeline.
- Any temporary workaround, if available.
Thank you for all your hard work and continued support. We hope this update can be prioritized so the Kodular community can continue publishing app updates without interruption.

Hello Kodular Community!
Does anyone know how to set the Target SDK Level to Android 16 (API level 36)?
In my project settings, the highest Target SDK Level is only at Android 15 (API 35)
Thank you in advance
Best regards,
Honggi
We have developed a tool for this every-year requirement headache. Import .aab into this tool set MinSDK to 21(or as per your need) & Target SDK to 36, Generate .aab. You will get your compliant SDK in few seconds, then release app/update on Google Play. It’s FREE for 1 day so you don’t need to pay anything
APK/AAB Manifest Editor Helpful Developer Tool (Update App Manifest, Change MinSDK, TargetSDK, Direct APK to APK and AAB to AAB Signer With Keystore)
Don’t panic
These are only warnings
Every year this is the same procedure
Just be patient until Kodular targets SDK 36
Edit: there is no tool needed to manually increase the target sdk in the manifest. Just be patient and wait. No tool is able to adjust the behavioral changes, which are also required to adjust every year.

Hello Kodular Team,
Google Play now requires Target SDK 36 (Android 16) for app updates by 31 August 2026.
Currently Kodular supports Target SDK 35 only. Many developers, including me, are receiving policy warnings in Google Play Console.
Could you please share:
- Is Target SDK 36 currently under development?
- Is there an estimated release date?
This update is important for all developers publishing apps on Google Play.
Thank you.
