Android Question Android 14 - API34 IDE Warnings

[RichardN]

To comply with Google's requirement to update to TargetSDKversion=34 by August I have recompliled my project with API34 and it seems to work entirely as expected. However the IDE continues to recommend not going higher than API 33.

Can I ignore this warning and upload the API 33 package? Am I risking problems with this store package or deployment to users?

It looks that the problem is on the Google Playmarket. It should be a waring but it looks like the error that prevents the app form punlishing.

I am not sure I understand your (mis-spelt) answer. How is a log warning within the B4A IDE a problem with the Google Play store? I want to know if it is safe to distribute B4A APKs to the store when the IDE warns that TargetSDKversion should be 33 (and not 34).

I see there are problems with notifications in API34 but fortunately my package does not employ them so is it safe to publish?

Perhaps @Erel can clarify the situation?

targetSdkVersion="34" is it ready?

Can we set targetSdkVersion="34" now?

I don't think so you will be able to publish with API 33 due to Google playmarket error.

Your app currently targets API level 33 and must target at least API level 34 prior to 8/31/24 - Google Play Developer Community

Ignore the warning. An updated version will be released in a few days and 34 will be the recommended targetSdkVersion.

For now the only issues (=things that actually require changes) I've seen are related to services.

Please let us know, specifically which services will be affected, thank you very much

Service modules and especially if you are calling Service.StartForeground.

I updated my manifest to API 34 and tested it on my Android 14 phone.
I'm using FCM - so far so good. I don't even using Receiver, still using Services.
