| DEVELOPER UPDATE
|
| Hello Google Play Developer, |
| Earlier this year, we announced that we’re expanding our target API level requirements to protect users from installing apps that may not have the latest privacy and security features.
|
| Starting November 1, 2022, apps that don't target an API level within 2 years of the latest Android release won't be available to new users with devices running Android versions newer than your app’s target API level. This means that new users won't be able to discover or install your app on Google Play if your app is targeting API 29 and below. You can request a one-time extension for each app if you need more time. Go to your Play Console Inbox Messages to find the link to each of your app’s extension forms. |
| We want to make sure you have ample time and resources to get prepared: |
|
|
| Thank you for continuing to partner with us to make Google Play a trustworthy platform for you and your users. |

Thank you,
