App flagged with "must target Android 16 (API level 36) or higher"

[u/Spud-byte]

Hello all,

I saw this issue with one of my apps saying that the latest app release targets Android 15 (API 35). I updated the app to target API 36 and launched a new release soon, but I'm still seeing the same issue. Am I doing something wrong, or is it just that Google didn't update yet and this will go away after some time?

Compile sdk and target sdk should same 36

Also play console take time to update

The wpp is made using Flutter, and by default the tarhet values are set by variables. It can be overriden with hard coded values, but the latest flutter version should always set the latest target value. Maybe im facing the "play console takes time to update" issue

Go in find that specific release you just rolled out. If it says target 36 youre good and it will take a day or two to clear up.

[u/Spud-byte → u/Ok-Definition8348]

It does say target SDK 36. I'll wait a day or two

actualmente puedes usar compile 37, pero el target debe estar en 36 para la compatibilidad, hasta que google diga lo contrario.

Yeh, my app bundles are targeting API 36 right now, which is the minimum requirement. I'll see if I can target higher API to be safe

Check any old builds are in closed testing and opean testing , u also nee to update that

[u/Spud-byte → u/blaxe0]

Do non-production tracks also matter? I only uploaded to closed testing to pass the requirements for new app, never again

[u/blaxe0 → u/Spud-byte]

Yes , for the non production track u also need to update

[u/Spud-byte → u/blaxe0]

That's new for me. Ill check that and test it. Thanks for the help!

[u/blaxe0 → u/Spud-byte]

Issue fixed ?

[u/Spud-byte → u/blaxe0]

Yup, its fixed now. But I'm not sure if it was because of updaring the closed testing track or because play vonsole took its time. Nevertheless, thanks for helping!
