Thnak you Erel! Merci Erel! It works well.

Small thing: I've set the target version to 33 (manifest) with C:\android2\platforms\android-33\android.jar and a warning appears ("should be 31 or greater").

The message is wrong though at this point it is recommended to set targetSdkVersion to 31.

Another small thing.
When creating a new 'Default' project, the targetSdkVersion is still 30 with the warning for 31.
For B4XPages projects it is OK.

Will be fixed. Thank you!

Dear Real and other B4A developers. Very very well done. MR Real, you are belonging among The most elite Android developers around The world. Thank you for this big improvement. B4A is making a very big joy to Me. And it is very probably The onlyone stable and so easy to learn Basic language dialect for Android platform. The biggest evidence of your professional programmers work is The big amount of active B4A forum users, who are sharing apps, who are discussing and who are helping to each others. So thqank you for your complex programmers work on B4A and all required libraryes and components.
