It is a known issue since 2017

android.jar / targetSdkVersion / minSdkVersion

The minimum version for Google Play app is 26. It will be raised to 28 on August 2019.

Hi,
i have the same problem. I don't understand the issue.

I use
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="18" android:targetSdkVersion="28"/>

I updated all Libraries with the SDK Mananger.

Must I set the minSdkVersion to 28?
What do I have to do to solve the problem?

Thank you very much.

"The minimum version for Google Play app is 26. It will be raised to 28 on August 2019."

This only applies to new apps and updates to apps uploaded to Google Play, correct? Existing apps already on Google Play will not be affected - at least this is what a quick Google search tells me.

We should be careful to add the details that this only applies to new and updated apps, not existing apps. I think it may avoid a lot of confusion.

Barry.

The message tells me - as I recall (sorry, I can't see currently the google text in my developer console), that I must update, if I want to use paymentes anymore.

I want to fix it anyway, I make often new features. I would like to be able to continue updating.
