You only need to change the value of targetSdkVersion in the manifest editor, and check your app on a device running Android 14.

As I wrote in a few other threads, if you are using a service then you will need to make some updates. In other cases it will probably work as-is.

I got the same message, but b4a says 33 is recommended.
How to solve it ?

Try the SDK Manager,

Search: Android sdk platform 34, and Install. After successful installation, you should see Android-34 in your configuration path.

So referencing Android - 33 in the config path all I need to do is put the following in my manifest

manifest edit:

<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="13" android:compileSdkVersion="33" android:targetSdkVersion="34"/>

I did exactly like this (in manifest) and my app was approved.

Excellent! Mine was approved but the msg with warning on the dashboard was there still so I wanted to be certain that the msg was just lagging to disappear.

In my case they sent me email that the violation was fixed and a few hours later approved the app.

My app uses Http_Utils2_Service, Share_Handler_Service and Starter service.

Can anyone advise what I need to do in addition to:

<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="13" android:compileSdkVersion="33" android:targetSdkVersion="34"/>

in Manifest.

Thanks in anticipation...

Just that. And test your app after it.
