Hello,
All my apps are in B4A V12.80.
If i install the new last release of B4A (13...), will my apps coded in 12.80 still be able to be compiled without errors, and will they work without modifications ?
Thank you.

Are you apps target latest versions of Android?

No, i don't need.
But now i have to compile an app that uses Google admob, and i have an error "Maven artifact not found. com.google.guava/guava"
I suppose that my 12.80 release is too old (?)

Carefully follow the installation instructions and everything will work: https://www.b4x.com/b4a.html
The new instructions require OpenJDK 19, SDK Command Line Tools and new version of Resources.

Do a clean installation of B4A and the new SDK
or
install them on another folders.

Check if the required libraries require updates.

Thank you but i still don't know if B4A V13.80 will allow me to maintain my old apps made in V12.80.

Yes, B4A is still B4A
Just some changes in new version of Android.
If you face issue that the app is not working correctly after upgrading, post a new question with the error messages.
