New Android announcement for the API 14 (level 34)

General Discussion
14

Don't panic... today is July 4th...
Every year this is the same procedure...
Currently there is nothing to do... just wait...

The test server already is available to do SDK 34 tests and one day the main server will be updated to target SDK 34, too

EDIT: also to only change the target sdk in the manifest as @JEWEL is suggesting will not really help because there are also the behavioral changes for SDK 34 to consider...

Hi Taifun,
Every time I wonder you help me thank you.
I am very reliable to hear from you that App Inventor will catch up every Android version up.

Hmm strange, this shouldn't give an error message, at most a warning that this will be mandatory from August 31st.

Thank you.
So let me quote the most important parts from that link

Starting August 31 2024:

  • New apps and app updates must target Android 14 (API level 34) or higher to be submitted to Google Play

And

You will be able to request an extension to November 1, 2024 if you need more time to update your app. You'll be able to access your app's extension forms in Play Console later this year.

Today is July 7th.
So if you get an error and you are not able to proceed, ask Google what is going on and ask them to follow their own rules they defined there as @Anke already suggested in post #20

Your app doesn't adhere to Google Play Developer Programme Policies. We will take action unless you fix violations before the deadlines.

Are you an emplyee for Google Play? Just asking...

Formulated in crystal clear terms (for once). Is there anything that is unclear? I don't know what.

Hello,
Does someone please know, when the MIT will change the API Level from AppInventor to Android 14 API 34? I have a lot to do in the next months and I do not like stress. I hope the change will be come soon. Thanks!

We all have a lot to do :wink:

MIT generally release an update just before August 31st.

If you do not want stress, request extension until November, now.

Your un-updated app should/will continue to work without the MIT update
