Google Play Store is updating API level requirements
It’s that time again! The Google Play Store is updating the target API level requirements. All app submissions will be required to target Android 12 (API level 31) or higher.
New App Submissions: Starting on August 1, 2022, new apps must target API level 31 (Android 12) or above and adjust for behavioral changes. Wear OS apps must target API level 28 or higher.
App Updates: Starting on November 1, 2022, app updates must target API level 31 or above and adjust for behavioral changes in Android 12.
What action will be required to target the appropriate API levels?
Capacitor Apps: Capacitor v4 is currently in beta, which can be accessed here, and will be generally available toward the end ofJuly.
Cordova Apps: cordova-android 11 will offer support for API 31 and 32. However, due to the volunteer nature of Apache projects, no concrete timelines are available. You can keep up to date by following the Apache Android Platform guide.
