API level 29

Editing the manifest.xml file doesn't seem to work anymore..

That's too bad. Is there something in the engine that has to be changed? I thought the manifest was the only thing that mattered.

Did you edit LC's template manifest or just the one created for your app?

Hi jacque

I edited the manifest.xml inside the LC runtime folder. This does update the API to 31 but Google then complains:

You uploaded an APK or Android App Bundle which has an activity, activity alias, service or broadcast receiver with intent filter, but without 'android:exported' property set. This file can't be installed on Android 12 or higher. See: developer.android.com/about/versions/12/behavior-changes-12#exported

I don't know why it changed yesterday though. This is an app update, and according to this page https://support.google.com/googleplay/a ... sting-apps I should have been OK until November.

We're in luck, today's RC release fixes the problem.

Hi

I'm trying to upload my test app to the Google Play Console. GPC is complaining - "Your app currently targets API level 30 and must target at least API level 31..."

So I:
- downloaded and installed LC 9.6.9 (rc2) - which from the release notes I thought would solve this problem; and
- updated Preferences > Mobile Support (9.6.9 forced me to do this); and

- updated my SDK manager so that it included Android API 31. Do I need to untick those earlier APIs?

But, when I try to upload my updated AAB file onto GPC I still get the same error message. Is there some other step that I'm missing?

Thanks

Kim

You also need the latest Build Tools.
