Android Apps: Google setting API 26 as minimum requirement

[IdeasVacuum]

From August 2018, only apps that support Android API 26 will be accepted on Goggle Play Store.

I haven't looked how SB handles API levels. I'm sure they use a minimum or single version that's why 5.0+ support only. I hope Google isn't doing it for security alone, because there are public exploits for root all the way up to Oreo, and it's Linux so every time there is a kernel or subsystem exploit exposed to every UID made public that gets root exec Android becomes vulnerable..

I have the same problem.
I cannot get my apk into the Google play store

aapt dump badging my_app.apk
...
sdkVersion:'16'
targetSdkVersion:'25
...

Is there a fix for that?

Is there another way to load my apk into an android phone?

I can only run my app in debug mode.

I tried downloading from my web site to my phone, and the android os refuse to run it

Thanks a lot.

Using the Beta version fix the problem.

I really like using Spider Basic for my android apps.

In a few days I restructured my window pc window program, to use events instead of a loop,

and it worked right away on my android phone. It is so neat . I never though I would ever get any programs of mine on a phone.

Thank you to Fred and his team, this is really a god product. Good job guys.
