When can we export with API level 34?

[St_Badhon]

Hello experts,

Does anyone know when will we be able to export our apps with API level 34? If you know any updates please share it with me.

Thanks

Definitely before August 31, 2024. So relax...

you already can use the test server now, see the announcement

Technical Preview: Android SDK 34 Update

Hello everyone, ai2-test.appinventor.mit.edu has been updated for the Android SDK 34 Google Play requirement. Starting August 31, all apps deployed to the Google Play Store, which includes App Inventor and all apps built with App Inventor, will be required to target SDK 34. Every update brings new changes to Android's APIs that can break apps and/or extensions. You can read more about breaking changes here. This will be the next major App Inventor update once nb197 with the new UI is deployed. …

The test server couldn't load my project! I guess I will wait till the testings are finished.

@St_Badhon

The test server couldn't load my project!

It would be interesting to know why...
Is this a large project with loads of screens, blocks or assets?

Please upload the project to https://unchive.kodular.io to get some statistics about your project and post the overview here

Hello Sir,
Can you tell me why this is happening? It's from the test server.

I think It's happening because I couldn't add notification action properly. The links you sent me was showing old screenshots. I couldn't find those so I tried to play around with it and see how it works. I'm attaching a screenshot that might help you identify the problem and tell what needs to happen.

I'm not familiar with that extension, I only can suggest to follow the documentation or ask its author for help

What are you trying to do with notifications? Alternatively use

This error usually means, you forgot to set all sockets of a method

@Taifun

This error usually means, you forgot to set all sockets of a method

Specifically, there is an empty property setter on the screen called Online.

I also need to update to API-Level 34 till 31/08/24, but it is not working up to now in MIT.
Can i use the test server instead for upload to Google Play Store?

[TIMAI2]

You only need to update to SDK 34 for apps uploaded/updated to the Google Play Store after August 31 2024. MIT will release an update to the main production server by then.

Technical Preview: Android SDK 34 Update

Best is to backup your projects yourself And later if you want to work on one of the projects, import it to App Inventor If you like to use the test server to publish a project in Google Play, don't forget to use the correct keystore, see also Taifun

[elmi]

You mean my existing apps with SDK 33 will still be available in Play Store?
I guess my apps will be no longer available in Play Store if i do not update to SDK 34.

Yes.

If someone has about 44 live apps on play store, this might consume time to update API level 34 for so many apps, hope we get it soon, we are all waiting for the new update.
