Android Question Is it possible to use targetSdkVersion = 30?

[Sandman]

I'm doing some experiments (post with background) and want to set targetSdkVersion to 30.

Everything seems to work just fine in the IDE, and B4A Bridge shows the standard "Do you want to install this application?", to which I answer Yes. Which results in "App not installed." No messages in the IDE, no app installed.

Are we supposed to be able to use API 30? Do I have to do something extra for this to work? Perhaps update some SDK-things..?

I would wait:

Beta version will be released tomorrow.

Aha, I had missed that, thanks!

TargetSDK 30 will be mandatory end of the year. Until then we can expect B4A will change to support this SDK.

For now you should use 29.

Yes, the IDE is very clear about it. But as I explained in my first post: I'm doing some experiments.

Right. We no have march. Still long time to go.

No.

I expect to get a Info about TargetSDK 30 from erel at some point. I´m positive he´ll post a Tutorial if B4A is ready to use TargetSDK 30.

targetSdkVersion=30 + Android version=11 requires a new signing method. Good news: next version of B4A, which its beta version will soon be released, supports it.
