Android Question latest sdk supported for android

[Zeev Goldstein]

here i go again...

what is the latest sdk version supported for android?
when i try 31 or 32 on brand new samsung s22 ultra i get an error with something wrong in the package and the installation crashes
on an older phone (huawei mate 9) 32 works perfectlly
so i had to use 30

any idea?
i'm using lated b4a version
thanks

On Xiaomi MI9T PRO my projects works normally using SDK 32, at least apparently.
So it could be a device related problem.
Just out of curiosity, did you tried to modify Manifest like this:

<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="14" android:targetSdkVersion="32"/>

Anyway I think that using Android SDK 30 it's more than enough for now.

The question is not clear.
Start here: android.jar / targetSdkVersion / minSdkVersion

You should set targetSdkVersion to 30 and the app the app will work on all versions of Android including Android 12.

That's exactly what i used
Min=14
Target=32
But it didn't work
When set target=30 it was all perfect
It's strange as i think it was working but not sure
The samsung runs android 12
The huawei runs 9

Just to clear things - it didn't even install with 32 so i couldn't even try running

But did you selected ANDROID JAR from PLATFORM 32 in the path?
Anyway I would stick to Android SDK 30 and everything will work for sure.
These can be funny experiments but for production and safety they are not needed, at least for now.
I think that you can use ANDROID JAR 32 to compile, but in Manifest you should keep TARGET SDK 30.

Not sure i got the idea....

And...
Why on older phone it was ok and not on the brand new?
I tried 2 different apps...

This could be because older SO, or that phone brand, was more permissive with less checks.
Just supposing.

No other option but to start digging and drilling to find out what is it all about

Thank you for the replies

 

[Sagenut]

Anyway remember that just sticking to 30 will work everywhere.
This is the solution for production.
So don't crash your head, if not just for fun and study.

As far as i know google requires keeping the uploaded apps to be sdk updated
Basically i don't care to keep my sdk to 30, the question is what about the big boss of us all - the all mighty mr. Google...

As far as i know google requires keeping the uploaded apps to be sdk updated

as of now the app must have set TargetSDK 30. No reason to use a higher one at this time.

Thanks

ok, i see i have only sdk 30 on my computer
if i run from b4a the sdk update and will update all recommended - will that do the trick?
will i then be able to use sdk 32 ?
or should i leave things as they are without update?
and wait for the full version update of b4a?

 

[agraham]

Never run SDK Manager unless you know exactly what you want to achieve. Currently B4A is intended for use with SDK 30 and this is the current requirement for the Play Store. As and when SDK 31 is required B4A and the associated SDK will be updated. Until then stop playing with other SDK versions and just use the downloads from the B4A product page and target SDK 30. There is absolutely no reason to do otherwise.
