Android Question Google Play & Target API level

[luke2012]

Hi everyone, I would like to point out that in the app manifest I currently have...

 'This code will be applied to the manifest file during compilation.
'You do not need to modify it in most cases.
'See this link for more information: https://www.b4x.com/forum/showthread.php?p=78136
AddManifestText(
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="5" android:targetSdkVersion="34"/>
........

Despite there being targetSdkVersion="34" in the app manifest (as you can see), on Google Play Console I read: "Policy violations, App must target Android 13 (API level 33) or later. subsequent" with a red icon with an exclamation mark.

At this point I wonder, since the violation of Google Play rules continues to appear: is it sufficient to declare targetSdkVersion="34" within the app manifest, or do I also have to do other ?

This is the only place. You can check the generated Objects\AndroidManifest.xml file. Make sure that the field isn't declared multiple times. Unlikely.

Have you submitted your updated application yet? I have just been through this process and the warning did not disappear when I loaded the app, only after I had submitted it. Incidentally, this was the only update and the app update was live immediately. -

Hi Erel. Thanks for your reply. Let me check.

            android:exported="true">

from what I see in the AndroidManifest.xml file it seems to be declared correctly, right?

Change the min SDK version = "23" and try.
