Android API required api level

[cusinger3]

Hi. I am working to comply with Google's new requirement for higher API levels beginning August 1st. I downloaded the newest version of Indy (this forum won't let me type in the version without creating errors), but it is nine point five. I downloaded the Q SDK package in Android Studio and created a new project. I created my standalone app and uploaded it to Google, and it still says that I don't comply because the API level is too low.

What else was I supposed to do?

Thanks!

You don't need to compile with Android Q, though it probably won't hurt. Instead you need to update the manifest to use the required target version. This is different from the app version or the SDK version. The basic idea is to create a copy of the default manifest from your apk, edit the target version, and then rebuild using your edited manifest. You include the edited manifest in the Copy Files pane of the standalone settings.

There's more discussion here, though I couldn't find the post that was a little more explicit:

Hello all,

This issue will be addressed in the next release of LC 9.5

Kind regards,

I am trying to use the "manifest in copy files" solution to a different problem, that is, to make Chromebook not try to resize my app. When I build with my manifest, it works fine on an Android but the chromebook won't install the app, saying there is a problem parsing the package.

I need to disable resizing since it works if your initial orientation is portrait but not if it is landscape, which ours needs to be since it is destined for a laptop/chromebook format.

Any idea if the fix mentioned above in the next 9.5 release might solve this problem too? I don't know where to go from here.
