Peter J. 0 Posted April 2 https://docwiki.embarcadero.com/PlatformStatus/en/Main_Page It's clearly stated that Delphi 11.3 supports Android 13 (sdk 33.0). I have tried for hours to configure SDK 33 into Delphi 11.3 with no success. I used Android Studio to download SDK 33.0 and latest NDK 26. Does anyone have a working 11.3 + Android SDK 33? and will care to share their installation tips? thanks Share this post Link to post

I don't even have sdk 32 installed! My AndroidManifest.template.xml says: <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="23" android:targetSdkVersion="33" /> any solutions to this? where else could I be specifying 32 wrongly?

Dave Nottage 554 Posted April 2 6 hours ago, Peter J. said: I don't even have sdk 32 installed! targetSdkVersion refers to the highest API level that your app can target, not which API level in your SDK that you built against. If Play Store says your app targets API level 32, check AndroidManifest.xml in the project output folder for which you built the app for Play Store. You may just need to do a clean and rebuild to ensure that AndroidManifest.xml is updated. Share this post Link to post
Peter J. 0 Posted April 3 ok thanks a lot, Dave! by the way, "targetSdkVersion" can only be inserted by Delphi? can we define this anywhere? i looked through Project Options but there is nothing to override. so I assumed changing the XML hard-coded is the only way? Share this post Link to post

After submission, no errors, but there are 2 warnings.... should I ignore them? Warning There is no deobfuscation file associated with this App Bundle. If you use obfuscated code (R8/proguard), uploading a deobfuscation file will make crashes and ANRs easier to analyze and debug. Using R8/proguard can help reduce app size. Learn More -> I suspect this is inevitable for Delphi app ? Warning This App Bundle contains native code, and you've not uploaded debug symbols. We recommend you upload a symbol file to make your crashes and ANRs easier to analyze and debug.

Yes, you can safely ignore them ( until Google decides to enforce this probably in the future ). 4 hours ago, Peter J. said: Warning There is no deobfuscation file associated with this App Bundle.

I considered that too, but I'm afraid these warning will be hard to remove, because they require certain Android tools, like ProGuard. Not sure if this will be ever included in the Delphi process. One idea, at least for the first warning, was to add a neutral or empty "manifest.txt" file. This might work technically, but on the other hand, the Google Review might see this as an attempt to circumvent or infringe their PlayStore policies, which might put you in bigger troubles. My hope is, that Embarcadero put this onto their roadmap. 2 Share this post Link to post
