Google Play's target API level requirement

From https://developer.android.com/distribut … t-sdk.html :
When you upload an APK, it needs to meet Google Play’s target API level requirements. Starting August 1, 2019, Google Play requires that new apps target at least Android 9.0 (API level 28), and that app updates target Android 9.0 from November 1, 2019. Until these dates, new apps and app updates must target at least Android 8.0 (API level 26).

I have created an APK for arm64 with Openspace3D 1.80 and after the upload Google Play says my app targets API level 26. Can I target level 28? Maybe with a future update of the Android plugin?

Other problem with my AR app is the size of the APK using the Default option. It seems to contain the 32 and 64 bits versions, so the size is greater than 100 MB and Google Play does not accept the APK. I have to create both versions separately (arm32 and arm64). That is the solution?

Re: Google Play's target API level requirement

Thank you for letting us know.
The next version of OpenSpace3D (which will hopefully release in a few weeks) will export application for API 28.

About the size of your application, the default export contains every version (x86, x86_64, armeabi-v7a and arm64-v8a), so it is indeed bigger. Creating both versions separately is a very good solution as it decreases the size of the application both for your upload and the final user that download it from the Play Store. The next version of OpenSpace3D will also feature the App Bundle export, that has a higher upload limit and let the Play Store automatically generates the smallest apk for the final user.

Hello, there is no date yet.

If you need to update the API level, you can do it by replacing the file http://redmine.scolring.org/projects/op … applet.pkg
