I received this warning when uploading my app for a new release:
Warnings
Your app currently targets API level 25 and must target at least API level 26 to ensure it is built on the latest APIs optimized for security and performance.
From August 2018, new apps must target at least Android 8.0 (API level 26).
From November 2018, app updates must target Android 8.0 (API level 26).
Tip:: Change your app's target API level. Learn how.
I’m wondering when the API level will be increased from 25 to 26 to comply.
i’m creating a fresh new app that i wanted to put on Play Store for internal testing, but it seems i’m not allowed to do so cause of that warning.
On another app that i have already on the Play Store the warning doesn’t stop me to publish it.
Hi @fraga009 - the warning should not be preventing you from moving on. You may need to do something like click on “View caution message” and then click on “Close” so that it knows you have viewed the warning, but you should be able to eventually activate the “Start Rollout” button.
Sorry this is inconvenient. We’re working on updating the targetSdkVersion soon so that the warning will go away!
Okay found.
Maybe like me you missed to complete all the forms for your apps.
My fault was about some data not completed in all the forms of google play console for the given app. In the left column of the console.
@gollyjer - we’re hoping to have Expo targeting API 26 within the next month. However, I can confirm that the warning does NOT in any way prevent you from pressing the “Start Rollout” button. (I just submitted an update to the Expo client a few hours ago, and the button was never greyed out even though the same warning was there.) If it’s greyed out, I would double/triple check to make sure you aren’t missing any other items in your submission.
