[HELP NEEDED] Google Play Warning – App Inventor apps must target Android 15 (API 35) by August 31, 2025

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 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.
