Is there any documentation which helps to change the target version to 33 in mobile app?

[nidhikachhawa24]

Hello all,

I'm working on SunbirdEd mobile app (4.6 version).
My current defaultTargetSdkVersion=31 defaultCompileSdkVersion=31 is 31.

As per the Google Play requires all apps to meet target API level requirements before Aug 31, 2023 I need to change the version to 33.

Is there any documentation available or can anyone help me how to achieve that?

@nidhikachhawa24 We are working on the documentation and will update you soon.

@swayangjit Thank you

@nidhikachhawa24 Earlier forgot to inform you that we are providing a patch in release-5.1.0. So you will have to take the code manually and apply the patch if you are using release-4.6.0. The documentation is available here.

@swayangjit As we have migrated from 31 to 33 the apk works fine with android version 12 and above but the apk wont work below 12. We are facing issue for installing apk on android version 11, 10 any solution?
I have tried changing minsdkversion to 31,30 still it wont work.

@siddhishinde0723 Install it via ADB and check what the error is

[siddhishinde0723]

@swayangjit This is the error we get on ADB i am using Android version 11
"Error code: 'INSTALL_FAILED_OLDER_SDK', message='INSTALL_FAILED_OLDER_SDK: Failed parse during installPackageLI: /data/app/vmdl1979771308.tmp/base.apk (at Binary XML file line #8): Requires newer sdk version #31 (current version is #30)'

@siddhishinde0723 we have tried installing sunbird app It installing in android 10 and 11 devices. Any other changes you did apart from SDK migration ?

[siddhishinde0723]

@swayangjit No i haven't done any changes rather than SDK

[swayangjit]

@siddhishinde0723 Can you please share the apk ?

[siddhishinde0723]

Problem: Even though we had adjusted the minSdk version to 22, the apk was still using 31. Installing the apk on an Android version lower than 12 was producing an error.

Solution: Sunbird.properties files also need to have the minSdk version changed. It was reading the SDK version from the properties file while creating the APK.

@siddhishinde0723 Can you please put up a sample as in sunbird.properties there is no property with minSDK.
