Google play requires API 26+

Hi,

I've googled and followed numerous tutorials on how to setup android sdk for the android exporter, and I can export my app for personal use on my phone with no problem, but when I try to upload my app to Google Play it gives the error "Your app currently targets API level 9 and must target at least API level 26 to ensure that it is built on the latest APIs optimised for security and performance. Change your app's target API level to at least 26."

I should be up to date (see below) but in Fusion under Android Options/Build API, when I click newest installed SDK API it picks 21 (typing in 26 doesn't fix the problem either.

Has anyone else run into this problem?

Hello,

Have you set the API 28 to you Android project in Fusion 2.5 ?

To slove this issue you have to set the property Target Android version to 8.0 which matches API level 26.

From August 1, 2018, Google requires that every app targets at least API level 26:

You can find which Android version matches which API level on this page:

I think that there's some confusion between the various SDK versions, which is quite understandable, so let me shed some light.

Build API = the API Level that the application is complied with = compileSdkVersion
Minimum Android version = the minimum API Level required for the application to run = minSdkVersion
Target Android version = the API Level that the application is tested against = targetSdkVersion

The Build API property is always set to the latest SDK version aka API Level installed by the Android SDK Manager. For example, in the attached screenshot, it is API Level 28:

Finally, here are some useful links to help you understand the difference between the various SDK versions:

Thanks for that guys. I seem to have compiled something that the google play store will accept.

(It kept changing the API build back to 21 until I uninstalled that API!)
