the message only says, that starting from Nov 1 you will have to target SDK33…
so if you have an urgent update to make for your app, why not doing it now using SDK31?
Taifun
I don’t have any updates now, but I worry that after November 1 I won’t be able to do any more! If I ever have to update the app after November 1, how will I do it? I will then forever have an outdated app!
you will be able to do it after Kodular hopefully provides the SDK33 update soon in October, see the latest statement from the Kodular team…

hello if an app is already made, does it automatically go to sdk 33 or do you have to redo it, or change the level in the settings. thank you
Ok but if kodular fixes the problem AFTER Nov. 1, 2023? I will no longer be able to update my app?
You only have to build it after the sdk33 release is available and then test to check, if everything still is working
You are correct… and if this happens then you can start panicking on Nov 1st
Taifun
will the update be released towards the end of October?
No, maybe you are not understanding or refuse to understand! If this happens on November 1 my app is screwed! the panic is something that happens earlier, like a month before the deadline when there has been almost a year to make this fix! november 1 will be TOO LATE!!!
So there is no point in teasing people with memes! we are talking about people here who have worked and spent money!

My app will be removed from the store. They want it to be “Target Level 33”. How can I get to level 33?

You are telling people to be worried, but there will be no updates after November 1. There is no 1 year for this. November 1 son day. If he had not updated the code until now, all his efforts would have been in vain. Do you care about the investments made and the money spent? That’s why I’m worried.

If your app is currently targeting SDK 31, nothing will happen after November 1st, 2023. Your app will be available in the Play Store for all devices / Android version (with API >= minTargetSdk - default minSdk = 21, AFAIK). However, if your app is still targeting SDK 30, then it will no longer be available in the Play Store from November 2023 on devices with API 31+.
So there is no reason to panic here!

Here’s another scientist! you wrote: “However, if your app is still targeting SDK 30, it will no longer be available in the Play Store as of November 2023 on devices with API 31+.”
So what does it mean??? that my app is useless!
can you explain to me what is the point of an app that is not available in the playstore for devices with API 31+?? it is not needed! it is screwed because it will not be available for new devices but only for a part. Is this how you do programming you??? i.e. you create apps and you don’t care what devices they will or won’t work on?! ahahahah that’s ridiculous as hell!
Then, don’t propose low value alternatives like MIT! it sucks! i tried it, it’s not even capable of supporting localStorage sessions! it can’t handle them! and that’s just 1 of the many problems MIT has! either way if one has a problem and is looking for answers, it’s not smart people to propose anything else! it’s like if i buy an iphone, it breaks, i go to the apple store, and they tell me “buy an android” ahahahahah come on don’t make me laugh!

It looks like you don’t understand…
Is your app targeting SDK31 i.e. did you build your app in the last year and upload it to Google Play?
In case of yes, then
In case of no, upload it now using the old target SDK31 (after extending the deadline)

For those who are panicking about that, here again a useful link to read
So basically, if you don’t update your app after two years Google will stop showing it to anyone with a newer device than the target SDK dictates, effectively soft-delisting it from the Play Store, unless developers put in the effort to update to the latest SDK regularly

Oh so this is the reason why I couldn’t find Kodular Companion on Play Store in Android 13.
No, it should be available in the Play Store - including for Android 13 - if it targets SDK 31. And the current version does this. So there must be another reason why the Companion APK is currently not available there.

Ok and if my app is targeting SDK31, and the upgrade to SDK33 by kodular happens AFTER Nov 1, 23, will I be able to change and upgrade the app AFTER that?
No you will not update it.

Yes of course.
To be more precise: Yes, but then (after Nov 1, 2023) only if Kodular finally provides the update that targets SDK 33.
