What should the Android targetSDKVersion be set to?

[Projectitis]

Hi all,

I've set minSDKVersion to 9 (required for v3 billing on Android).

What is the recommended setting for targetSDKVersion?  Should this be the SDK version that the AIR packager uses? If so, what is it?

Cheers,

Peter

Hi Peter,

Till AIR 19, default value of minSDKVersion is 9. For AIR 20 minSDKVersion will be 14 for AIR applications.

TargetSDKVersion till AIR 19 is 17, For AIR 20 this will get changed to 21.

You need not to mention these values in your app-xml unless you wish to change them.

Let us know if you have more doubts.

Thanks,

Something else to know, until recently Google Play had a 50 MB limit for APK size, for SDKs below 14. If your APK is under 50 MB you should be ok with SDK 9. If it's over 50 MB it may still upload ok, because of a recent change by Google, I haven't tested that to see if it works. For now I've worked around the 50 MB limit by setting SDK 14, which allows you to go up to 100 MB.
