Obtain an updated aab, Play Installer Control requires an SDK version of 21 or later

GOOD MORNING, PLEASE, TODAY I REQUESTED THE AAB FILE FROM AN APPLICATION I HAD MADE TIMES AGO WITH APPINVENTOR AND I UPLOADED IT TO THE PLAY STORE BUT I GOT THIS MESSAGE: Play Installer Control requires an SDK version of 21 or later. The uploaded app bundle has an SDK version of 7 or later. Update the minSdkVersion value in your app's Android manifest file. WHAT SHOULD I DO? WHY DIDN'T I GET AN ABB WITH THE UPDATED SDK?

Min sdk for app inventor is 7 and it is correct. And here you have the answer why google requires min sdk 21:

Minimum SDK... Play Store doesn't like my .aab

This is a new feature of Google Play and has nothing to do with extensions. Specifically, Google now by default has a feature called "Automatic Protection" for apps, which if turned on injects new code into the AAB before it is converted into APKs to be distributed to users. The code Google injects requires the app be min SDK 21. It looks like if you turn it off you can upload AABs created by App Inventor without issue (like every app ever made up until Google introduced this new mechanism). Her…

So you have two solutions, refuse to integrate google code into your aab, or add the extension to your project:

Minimum SDK... Play Store doesn't like my .aab

minSdk21.aix (4.0 KB) Import and drag it onto the screen.
