Update my app API to Android 13

@Royce_Grey

those of us who intend to keep updating our apps are not going to be helped by this fact.

I have already explained everything necessary for this in post #37.

smartphone with android 13 requires api 33 . from January 2023

This is just a warning. As long as your apps aren't on targetSdkVersion = 30 or lower, and you don't plan to update or release a new app right away on Aug. 31 or Sept. 1, there is NO action required for now. Everything you need to know about this:

a temporary solution to extend the deadline until November has been mentioned here

API Level 33 Necessary from August 2023

Thank you for your efforts @ewpatton but here is a temporary solution to extend the deadline till November. Go to Inbox in your play console, click on notification and go to View details. [image] Scroll down and click Request more time. [image] Select appropriate reasons and click Request. You will be granted extension till Nov 01, 2023. [image] Extend deadline for all of your published apps. So, no need to worry as of now, we have enough time to do the things.

Hi, is there a new date for release with the SDK 33 related changes? I need to update my apps in the near future and wanted to know if finally it will be done before Aug 31. If not i will ask google play store for time extension, but wanted to know if its possible to get app inventor updated before doing so. Thank you very much in advance Sir.

Any news on the update?

[ewpatton]

Due to a few bugs identified on Friday and Saturday we decided to push the release to tomorrow to address those issues.

My hope is that the update will be available for testing starting this weekend. We're in the process of reviewing a bunch of pull requests that will go into the next release, which is tentatively scheduled for Aug 26.

I'm waiting for new updates on app inventor.
I appreciate your effort Evan

[Royce_Grey]

It has. But I was annoyed by his seeming assumption that no one should then be worried. That's what I'm objecting to.

Exactly, and many users don't seem to realize this and are panicking about Google's pathetic information policy (as I've said elsewhere).

Thank you, Sir

[Royce_Grey]

I'm guessing the release did not go out. I'll apply for the extention and still get an Android 13 version out as soon as I can because I'm planning a new version at Thanksgiving and don't want to crowd new versions too close together.

Thank you.

[Anke]

And - where is your problem?

[ewpatton]

The release will be done tonight EDT. We have already received approval from Google Play (for those who don't know, the App Inventor companion app is compiled by App Inventor, so an approval here is a very good sign for people who publish their apps with App Inventor). The release should be live in 4 hours or so.

Take your time Evan , Thank you so much.
