New Android announcement for the API 14 (level 34)

read this why currently there is nothing to do for you

and wait until the main server targets sdk 34 or if you like to help testing the sdk 34 release see here

Taifun

But what if I need to release an update

as already said use the test server and don't forget to use the correct keystore

Taifun

I am confused what key stores and test servers are

Then just publish a new version targeting sdk 33

Taifun

What is ssk 33

Sorry, it is a typo... sdk 33 (now corrected)...
Taifun

Im really sorry but I am having a hard time understanding the various announcements and terms that you are presenting to me, could you please explain to me how to solve the problem?

And again and again: What problem? There is no problem!

Just ignore any SDK warnings from Google (until August 31, 2024) as long as your app currently targets SDK 33.


If you need to make an urgent update now, do it by building it with the current AI2 version (i.e. targetSdkVersion=33) and uploading it to the Play Store. Then you have until August 31, 2025 to update the app to SDK 34.

The test server builder with a yesterday version:

Is not running with my .aia.

Look through the AAPT Errors section for possible ways to break the build

Try again with an almost empty new project.

No problem here to build an APK.

I had re-open the browser and now the test builder is running well. Now I have the right APK generate with the test builder. I don't understand what was happening before because the same aia was right builting with the normal server but not with the test builder. Now is all right.

Hello,
Its Aug 9th.. and the update is not available yet? please let me know. I have modified my app in app inventor and when I upload it to console, it says it is not android 14 compliant.

Thanks

And again and again: IGNORE IT :exclamation:
It's just an annoying warning – same procedure as every year.

Apps built in ai2-test.appinventor.mit.edu target SDK34, as required by Google. We anticipate having this update on our production servers (ai2.appinventor.mit.edu and code.appinventor.mit.edu) at the end of next weekend (August 17-18).
