How do I…
Hi again!.
I’ve received a notification from Google requiring an update of the target API level 35 before August 31st so I have to update one of my games.
Is there already an update of the AAB packaging?.
Thank you very much in advance.

Hello, I’m not sure if the one click build is updated yet because I like to manually build my Android projects. But I do know that every year, GDevelop does update their one click build to meet the Google requirement before the deadline. Also, if previous years are anything to go by, as the deadline approaches, Google does allow developers to file an extension giving them until November to update their apps.

Thank you very much for your reply!.
I build my projects with the one click build.
Is this feature updated separately from the game engine or you must update Gdevelop to get it.?.

I think the build process is just updated on their end after they have resolved any breaking changes. I did not see any breaking changes listed that would effect the game engine itself, only what build tools you use, gradle version etc, so I imagine they won’t have to update GDevelop for that. Someone can chime in if they know for sure you can use an unupdated version of GDevelop with the one click build.
For what it’s worth, since I manually build, I have been manually building API level 35 since May using projects made in w/e version GDevelop, it didn’t matter. I did have to change some things in my build environment. So it should be the same for them, they have to change up the build environment on the server but it won’t affect the engine.

I release my game in March so I suppose that the API was still the API level 34 and that can be the reason for the update message from Google.
I have already applied for the extension.
Thanks again for your reply.

The build service update will become effective before the August 31st deadline.
It will be announced later in a future release of the engine, and in a future post on our social media channels.
