Google Play's Target API Level Required 35

Dear Niotron Team,

I hope this message finds you well.

I am currently developing and publishing apps using your platform. However, I recently received a warning from Google Play Console stating that, starting from August 31, 2025, all apps must target Android 15 (API Level 35) or higher to remain eligible for updates and releases.

As of now, Niotron only allows targeting up to Android 14 (API Level 34), which will soon be non-compliant with Google Play’s requirements.

Kindly let me know when support for Android 15 (API Level 35) will be available on the Niotron platform. This is an urgent matter, as failure to comply will prevent us from publishing updates.

Thank you in advance for your time and support. Looking forward to your response.

Best regards,

Android 15 is already in beta and will be available soon. I also received this message from Google Player!

It’s Android 16 (API 36).

i dont have android 16

Try the beta builder.

how many time or more you take ??? , i have a notice of last dead line at 31 august 2025
plz help

You can increase the Google Play term like I did.

import and compile in beta.

https://beta.niotron.com/

More precisely:

  1. Inport the aia into the beta server
  2. Export your keystore from the main and import it into beta server
  3. Increase the version number by 1
  4. Compile/build the AAB (APK)
  5. Upload it to your Google developer console.

when is the update coming… in 2 / 3 days or … after date is over. .??? please give us some idea …

We are working on reworking some of the status bar and nav bar. It’s almost 90% done so i expect we can release the update in 2 days.

The same applies to the build-in methods of Niotron. They do no longer work on Android 15+.


This can be avoided by placing HAs (with the appropriate heights) at the top and bottom and coloring them as desired. However, this requires hiding the title bar.

Which is why we are reworking some of it. Our current implementation is working fine.

The window.setStatusBarColor() seems to be deprecated and doesn’t seem to do anything in an edge to edge application. In case of AppInventor they are just applying a padding for the status bar and setting the icons to light/dark mode, if I remember correctly.

Currenly our solution was to create a statusbar view along with the padding so that we can apply the colour the user want directly to the view.
