Buen dia, en google console se envio este mensaje:
La aplicación debe estar orientada a Android 15 (nivel 35 de la API) o a una versión posterior
como se debe solventar?
Gracias por su apoyo
This has been asked several times so it is always good to search before asking any question.
Problem Details
App must target Android 15 (API level 35) or higher
situation
- We will not be able to release app updates (56 days left).
Date shipped
July 2, 2025
Deadline
August 31, 2025
To provide a safe environment for users, all apps on Google Play must meet target API level requirements.
Starting August 31, 2025, you will not be able to update your app unless it targets an API level within one year of the latest Android release.

How to solve
The highest target API level that is not compliant is Android 14 (API level 34).
To keep your app updated, you need to do the following:
- Update your app to target Android 15 (API level 35) or higher.
- Publish a new version of your app to production. Before that, you can test your app using internal, private, or public tests.
I have created using app inventor an app, it works well, I send to google play byt....
Google Play is asking for the following: "The app must target Android 15 (API level 35) or newer."
Can anyone help me? Send me a quote. This app is to raise money to finish 2 others, and then I'll need the same service.
MIT is working on this issue.
ai2-test has been updated with a subset of proposed changes for our next release: nb202.
This update includes the SDK 35 version bump for those looking to test their apps prior to the Google deadline on Aug 31.
You can build your app on the test server and the app should upgrade properly. MIT plans to have the main server automatically upgrade apps to API level35.
However this feature will NOT be available on the main server yet. You should build your app on the main server when MIT tells us we can target API 35. This hopefully will happen by by Aug 31. Only then should you submit the app to google for final review.
. Do not use the app you build on the test server to submit to google play; only use the build you make on the test server to help test that the code is working.
If you use the build that you tested for your FINAL submittal you will have problems later updating that version. Please wait until target 35 is available on the main server.
How can update the API to Android 15. Google is telling ...I AM OUT if not doing the update
No you are not. I moved your question into the correct thread
Please read the already given answers

Can you show us a screenshot of that?
Are we talking about 1) a new app or 2) an update of an existing app?
For 1) what about uploading the app now using target sdk 34?
For 2) what about updatibg the app now using taeget sdk 34?
See again

Denied ? or just given a warning ?
Please show the messages you are getting back from GooglePlay ...
What you are saying does not appear to align with what Google Play are saying:
These are all just warnings. Show the screenshot where Google rejects the release. Also, try publishing the app as an internal test track.
Ahem, I restored your deleted post (I don't know why/how it got deleted), I now see that you then deleted it and another restored post yourself!
Why did you then delete post #39 ?
I wish you luck.
I read your comment and it started with something like "I cannot believe that I have to repeat myself" and a post later you want a "more friendly community".
Just saying...
This is what Goolge says
How to fix
Your highest non-compliant target API level is Android 14 (API level 34).
To ensure that you can continue to make updates to your app, you must:
- Update your app to target Android 15 (API level 35) or higher.
- Publish a new version of your app to production. Before you do this, you can test your app using internal, closed or open testing.
If you need more time to update your app, you can request an extension to this deadline. If you request more time, you'll have until 1 Nov 2025 to update your app.
Can we know the release date of the new version of AI2 that will support Google Android SDK 35?
Thanks
Why?
By August 31, 2025, at the latest. Everything necessary has already been said in this thread.
We'll be deciding that on Thursday at our development meeting.
