Hello readers! A news flash here!
Do you remember that Google announced that they are expanding the target API level requirement for the purpose of protection of users’ privacy and security?
Starting August 31, 2023,
• New apps and app updates must target API level 33 (Wear OS must target API 30). • Existing apps must target API level 31 or above to discover from Google Play. (Apps that target API level 30 or below (target API level 29 or below for Wear OS), will only be discoverable on devices running Android OS same or lower than your apps’ target API level.)
Although this may request to extend until Nov 1, 2023, expansion of the target API level is unavoidable.
But don’t worry! LIAPP has no problem even with API level 33. We already went through the compatibility test.
This means it is possible to apply LIAPP to apps targeting the latest API level. Be agile in responding to Google policies and always stay vigilant to provide your app and users with a more secure app service!
LIAPP is here with you to protect your app with the recent policy of Google.
We want to make sure you have ample time and resources to get prepared:
