API 29 required by Google Play starting August 3

When you upload an APK, it needs to meet Google Play’s target API level requirements. New apps must target at least Android 10 (API level 29) starting August 2, 2020. App updates have until November 1.

Voltbuilder uses the default level of Cordova, which is currently 9.0.0. That still uses Android API Level 28.

However, it’s easy to override so API Level 29 is used. Add this line to your config.xml:

<engine name="android" spec="9.0.0" />

Your app will now meet Google Play’s requirements.

We expect Cordova to update its default level over the next few days, so this won’t be needed for long.

can the engine tag go inside the platform tag?

<engine name="android" spec="9.0.0" />
<platform name="android">

</platform>

or

<platform name="android">
  <engine name="android" spec="9.0.0" />
  .
  .
  .
</platform>

I don’t think it matters.

This is now the default - you don’t have to do anything to use APK 29.

Hi
You open config.xml and edit

<platform name="android">
       <preference name="android-targetSdkVersion" value="30"/>
