How do I solve the target API level issue from Google about building my app by cn1?

Question

I got an important message from Google.

Update your target API level by August 31, 2023 to release updates to your app

We've detected that your app is targeting an old version of Android. To provide users with a safe and secure experience, Google Play requires all apps to meet target API level requirements.

From August 31, 2023, if your target API level is not within 1 year of the latest Android release, you won't be able to update your app.

To continue making updates to your app, ensure your app targets Android 13 (API level 33).

Answer 1

The API level is set to API 33 by default. If you're experiencing a problem it is either because you have one of:

• A build hint explicitly setting the API back to an older version.
• A build hint that is no longer supported and triggers an API downgrade.

You can see the build hints in Codename One Settings.
