Question
com.google.android.play:core has added this note for core:1.8.0 - but app version is very old in email
Recently I got this message from google:
com.google.android.play:core has added this note for core:1.8.0:
Update your Play Core Maven dependency to an Android 14 compatible version! Your current Play Core library is incompatible with targetSdkVersion 34 (Android 14), which introduces a backwards-incompatible change to broadcast receivers to improve user security. As a reminder, from August 31, Google Play requires all new app releases to target Android 14. Update to the latest Play Core library version dependency to avoid app crashes: https://developer.android.com/guide/playcore#playcore-migration
You may not be able to release future versions of your app with this SDK version to production or open testing.
Affected app bundles and APKs:
version: 4194526 (2.0.220729)
In the last part it mention my app version from 2022 and since then I updated app multiple times and last version is from 2024. I checked android project dependencies and only reference is this:
+--- project :react-native-rate
| +--- com.facebook.react:react-native:+ -> 0.67.5 (*)
| \--- com.google.android.play:review:2.0.1
| +--- com.google.android.gms:play-services-basement:18.1.0 (*)
| +--- com.google.android.gms:play-services-tasks:18.0.2 (*)
| \--- com.google.android.play:core-common:2.0.2
If I see right here this version is fine. Is there a reason why in mail old app version is mentioned and should I be worried about this? My app build.gradle config is:
buildscript {
ext {
firebaseMessagingVersion = "21.1.0"
buildToolsVersion = "33.0.0"
minSdkVersion = 21
compileSdkVersion = 33
targetSdkVersion = 33
supportLibVersion = "28.0.0"
appCompatVersion = "1.1.0"
supportV4Version = "1.0.0"
mediaCompatVersion = "1.0.1"
googlePlayServicesLocationVersion = "19.0.1"
facebookSdkVersion = "13.1.0"
ndkVersion = "21.4.7075529"
kotlin_version = '1.6.10'
}
