Google Play stops listing apps designed for older Android APIs

Google is very dissatisfied with the current situation of Android fragmentation, which not only affects Android version upgrades and new feature promotions, but also poses a great threat to user security. Since old versions of Android have lost maintenance, they cannot receive new security updates and are easily attacked.

Of course, Google has also introduced new security features in each Android version, but some features can only be used by apps designed for new versions. Therefore, at the end of last year, Google announced that it would reduce the number of apps designed for older versions of Android.

On August 1 this year, Google officially announced that the Google Play Store will stop accepting apps designed for older Android APIs before Android 8.0.

November 2nd is the last day of the deadline, and developers can no longer upload any apps designed for older versions of the Android API to Google Play.

Of course, this standard is constantly improving with the release of new versions of Android. Next year, the minimum requirement is to be designed for Android 9.0. In addition, Google also stated that future versions of Android will restrict apps designed for older versions of Android.
