2022-05-11 - Updating Android Apps
Category DEVThe new google play mandate is that apps must somewhat follow the latest API level, or risk getting booted out of the store after a certain delay.
https://developer.android.com/google/play/requirements/target-sdk
“Starting in November 2022, app updates must target API level 31 or above and adjust for behavioral changes in Android 12;”
https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/11926878
- New Apps: API 31 by 2022-08-01.
- App Updates: API 31 by 2022-11-01.
- Existing Apps: API 31 by 2023-11-01 / API 30 by 2022-11-01.
TL;DR: So that means all apps should be API 30 by Nov 2022, but because they would be updates they need to be API 31, so we might as well bring them to API 32 right away.
The plan is to try to update apps on a rotating basis, for example one per month.
For that, I need a list, and I’ll reuse my gradle-version spreadsheet.
