Google new API 33 requirements

[panagiotis merakos]

Hello Klaus,

*>>>>>Does that mean I have to select -> 13 (API 33) as the *
*Minimum Android Version in the STAB?*

Nope, if you select "13 (API 33)" in the android standalone application
settings it means your app will run only on devices that run Android 13+.

Regarding the warning/error you get from the Play Store - where (in which
track) did you upload your new build? Was it in the Production track, or in
any of the (Internal/External) Testing tracks?

Could you post a screenshot of the exact warning/error you get?

Also, I take it you used LiveCode 9.6.10 or 10.0.0 DP-6 to build the app,
since these versions build against API 33 - is that correct?

Moreover, note that you do not need the "SDK Build tools v33" - you need
"SDK Platform API 33". These are two different things. The version of the
SDK Build tools that are installed must be 31.0.0. I believe you have the
correct versions installed anyway, but I just mention it again to prevent
confusion :)

KInd regards,
Panos
