Target API level 33 by August 31, 2023 #40
Description
Just got an email from Google today. It says:
Last year, we announced that we’re expanding our target API level requirements to protect users from installing apps that may not have the latest privacy and security features.
To help make Target API level deadlines clearer, we are unifying the dates to August 31 every year.
Starting August 31, 2023:
New apps and app updates must target API level 33 to be submitted to Google Play (Wear OS must target API 30).Existing apps must target API level 31 or above to remain discoverable by all users on Google Play. Apps that target API level 30 or below (target API level 29 or below for Wear OS), will only be discoverable on devices running Android OS same or lower than your apps’ target API level.
So if I want this app to be discoverable still, then update this app. Otherwise, eh.
