Error: Google Play requires that apps target API level 31 or higher.

When I Build unsigned APK of the azure pipeline. There is a problem with the targetSdkVersion.

Does someone issues the same problem? Or does someone can help me?

Please provide a repository that reproduces this issue. You may want to check that the defaultConfig is specifying the target sdk in your main app.

I have this same issue and have confirmed the defaultConfig is specifying the target SDK version in the main app. I don't have a public repro of this at the moment but posting here in case other users run into this.

I don't have repo I can share. But the ext in my build.gradle is the following one.

It is something required for new android apps
target-sdk

[DavidBertet]

If you run that command

yarn android

From example/ folder, and check the apk

$ANDROID_HOME/build-tools/33.0.2/aapt dump badging android/app/build/outputs/apk/debug/app-debug.apk | grep targetSdkVersion

It does contain

targetSdkVersion:'33'

Coming from the example project example/android/build.gradle

buildscript {
    ext {
       ...
        targetSdkVersion = 33

And not 30 from the framework defaultConfig

@sennedl You might have to update targetSdkVersion from your project, seems like you have 30

[sennedl]

@DavidBertet I share the wrong screenshot. I have the targetSdkVersion = 33 and it fails as well.

The pipeline said it's the react-native-camera-kit in the node_modules

/home/vsts/work/1/s/node_modules/react-native-camera-kit/android/build.gradle:8: Error: Google Play requires that apps target API level 31 or higher.
 [ExpiredTargetSdkVersion]
        targetSdkVersion 30
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Is there something to do about this?

[DavidBertet]

Could you share what is your Build unsigned APK pipeline doing?

Seems like you are linting react-native-camera-kit, any reason doing that?

While Google Play requires apps to target API level 31, and 33 at the end of the month, that's a Google Play limitation
Someone that would want to use react-native-camera-kit on internal stores could use anything they want

More details about your setup should help reproduce / find what the solution needs to be

[DavidBertet]

I pushed a potential fix after reproducing something similar on the example project

./example/android/gradlew lintDebug

[scarlac]

Should be fixed with @DavidBertet's PR. Thanks David! Closing. Please open a new issue if the issue persists.

I patched the package by making minSdkVersion = 24. Then I pulled my own project to the same version, but the same error continues.
