[GitHub] EiyuuZack opened a new issue #649: Google Play Console
targetSdkVersion requirement
EiyuuZack opened a new issue #649: Google Play Console targetSdkVersion requirement
URL: https://github.com/apache/cordova-android/issues/649
Greetings,
According to this [blog post](https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2017/12/improving-app-security-and-performance.html) Google will require Android apps to target newer SDK versions:
> In order to provide users with the best Android experience possible, the Google Play Console will require that apps target a recent API level:
>
> - **August 2018**: New apps required to target API level 26 (Android 8.0) or higher.
> - **November 2018**: Updates to existing apps required to target API level 26 or higher.
> - **2019 onwards**: Each year the `targetSdkVersion` requirement will advance. Within one year following each Android dessert release, new apps and app updates will need to target the corresponding API level or higher.
Regarding the advancing requirement part, I have an Android app built using Cordova targeting API 26 (Android 8.1). My question is: **must I target API 28 (Android 9.0) this year or will API 27 (Android 8.1) suffice?**
I could not find anything on this Cordova-wise (forgive me if I missed some obvious place) and given that Cordova **only supports up to API 27 (Android 8.1)** as of today, I would like to know if I should be concerned in order to make the proper adjustments to my team's roadmap.
Much appreciated.
