Google Play Developer update




Hello Google Play Developer,

This is a reminder that starting November 1, 2018, updates to apps and
games on Google Play will be required to target Android Oreo (API level 26)
or higher. After this date, the Play Console will prevent you from
submitting new APKs with a targetSdkVersion less than 26.

Configuring your app to target a recent API level ensures that users
benefit from significant security and performance improvements, while still
allowing your app to run on older Android versions (down to the
minSdkVersion).

Action required

Please ensure that your apps are configured to target at least Android 8.0
(API level 26) by November 1, 2018. For technical advice on how to change
your app's target API level to meet these requirements, refer to the
migration guide.

Affected apps

The apps included below have one or more APKs—in production or testing
tracks—that aren't currently targeting API level 26 or higher. Apps are
listed with the maximum version code and corresponding targetSdkVersion. If
you have more than 20 apps that could be affected in your account, please
check the Play Console for a full list.
