New requirement for Google Play.

Google Play now requires that the Android build supports 9.0 and Livecode v9.50(dp 1) supports up to Android 8.
We need a Livecode update to deal with this.

Hello lodijoe,
Google Play store, starting from this August if I remember correctly, requires new apps to have the Android 9 in the targetSdkVersion. Note that this is different from the minimum Android version one can set in the android standalone settings. The targetSdkVersion is not settable from within LiveCode.
FYI, the new release of LC 9.5 dp2 will include support for the new requirement of Google Play store:

Kind regards,

@Panos
is it possible for future version to have this targetSdkVersion as settable whenever Google changes it?
Like a partly grayed out or hidden function, so you have to take a step more to change it.
regards,
Jerry

Ideally it would be in Android standalone settings.
