Hello everyone,
I’ve received an important warning from Google Play Console regarding my App Inventor-based app:
“Your app must target Android 15 (API level 35) by August 31, 2025, or you won’t be able to publish updates.”
What shall I do ?
Hello everyone,
I’ve received an important warning from Google Play Console regarding my App Inventor-based app:
“Your app must target Android 15 (API level 35) by August 31, 2025, or you won’t be able to publish updates.”
What shall I do ?
We are in the process of upgrading App Inventor. Until our August release goes out there is nothing to do. Once the release is available, simply rebuild your app and upload a new release to Google Play Store.
So when this new update comes out how can i be notifed of it?
August release doesn't really seem sufficient enough. I got the warning and it says i have until august to make changes or google will most likely pull the app from production in its entirety. I imagine others would most likely have the same issue with the next release being in august.
Couldn't you just make a simple patch?
구글 플레이에서 API레벨 조정하라는건 매년 있는 일입니다. MIT APP INVENTOR 측에서 업그레이드 준비중이라고 하니. 7월말에서 8월초에는 완료 해주시겠죠, 기다리시면 됩니다. 업그레이드 완료되면 rebuild해서 다시 올리기만 하시면 됩니다. 저도 몇 년 전엔 걱정이 많았는데, 이젠 매년 있는 일이라 걱정 안합니다.

Don't worry, this is not the first year we are doing this... you are new and do not know how things are working....
To target sdk 35 is only necessary for new apps.
You can read more about the process here

You will be able to request an extension to November 1, 2025 if you need more time to update your app. You'll be able to access your app's extension forms in Play Console later this year.

thanks you for keep contributing to app inventor
Hi,
for info, my company has pushed out an Android 15 update to company devices and changing the Timepicker time is crashing the app. Not happening in Android 14.
Switch to Device Default theme
Hi, sorry can you please expand on that?
Thanks.
Thanks a lot...I'll take a look.

Hi everyone, I have a pretty urgent issue with an app I just put into Testing on Google Play Console. It was shut down recently as the MIT Inventor App is not providing a API level 35 which is now required by Google to get approved for testing and distribution
There is a deadline associated which is the end of the month. I did apply for an extension but still waiting..
Does anyone have an idea as to when MIT Inventor App will be updated to support level 35?

No you do not.
The API 35 requirement is for new apps and will be in force from Aug 31st 2025
MIT will update AppInventor before that date to be complaint.
We have the same issue every single year...
My app is new. Was working last week was moments away from being approved with the 14 testers but now blocked.Only 6 testers were able to get the app in time before the rest got blocked for testing.
Will we know exactly what Date that would occur? My app is new and the testing group is now being blocked from testing by Google. I signed up at the wrong time as this requirement came just as I'm getting my app up on the testing group. I applied for an extension hopefully I get approved. Its likely the MIT update will come too close to the deadline i wont have time to update.
Near the deadline, that is all we know
