Android Question Android 14

[Emerito]

I have an app that works fine on Android 13, but can't be installed on new phones with Android 14. I changed the line in the Manifest Editor: <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="16" android:targetSdkVersion="26" /> to <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="13" android:compileSdkVersion="33" android:targetSdkVersion="34"/>. I install it on a Xiaomi HyperOS emulator with Android 14 and it installs but online sim.Start() (Dim sim As simcard) gives me the error "the uid 10207 does not meet the requirements to acces device identifiers". Can you help me?

I don't think it's related to Android 14， the simcard library doesn't work on Android10+， that means you changed targetSdkVersion to 29，it also give you the error

What do I have to do to make it work correctly on Android 14?

I'm not familiar with this library but as @teddybear wrote it looks like it tries to access an identifier that is no longer accessible.

Maybe this one: https://stackoverflow.com/questions...-not-meet-the-requirements-to-access-device-i

It is not essential for my app to access the SIM card. I can do without it, but I need to access the SD and I can't do it either. I suppose there is a solution. I am using version 12.50 of B4A. Can you help me? Is it possible with an update?

IDE 12.5 does not support android 14， you have to upgrade ide to version 13.
To access the SD, you can see this link。

I want to upgrade to version 13. How do I do it?

Be sure to make a complete new installation downloading everything new and not only the B4A 13 file, following the link from @teddybear.
