Summary

Hi,

Before posting here, I tried the discord and forums as well but that did not help.

I'm trying to submit my app to play store using eas submit --platform android but it does not work.

The error it shows:

Run eas submit --platform android

Hi I think that your app is not targeting the required API level of 33

Hi,

Yeah that was the issue. Fixed by adding the below code in app.json:

[
	"expo-build-properties",
	{
		"android": {
			"targetSdkVersion": 33
		}
	}
]
