title: Google Play Target API level requirement
body: <p>From Google Play guides I notice that from 2 November 2020, app updates must target Android 10 (API level 29) or higher.</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p>When you upload an APK, it needs to meet Google Play’s target API level requirements. <strong>New apps must target Android 10 (API level 29) or higher and app updates must target Android 9 (API level 28) or higher.</strong></p>
  </blockquote>
  <blockquote>
  <p>Every new Android version introduces changes that bring significant security and performance improvements as well as enhance the user experience of Android overall. Some of these changes only apply to apps that explicitly declare support through their targetSdkVersion manifest attribute (also known as the target API level).</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>It means that my new application version (updated one) could still target Api Level 28 ? Is this allowed only until November 2, 2020 ?</p>
  <p>Thanks.</p>
