Summary
Clarify the calendar around the requirements for the Android
targetSdkVersion
bump.Google now always follows the same cadence for the requirements around the
targetSdkVersion
bump on the Google Play Store: the next version is required on August 31st, the year after the SDK update's release, if you want to ship a new app, or if you want to keep shipping updates for an existing app.See https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/11926878?sjid=11853000253346477363-EU#zippy=%2Care-there-any-exceptions-for-existing-apps-targeting-api-or-below
So we can expect the
targetSdkVersion: 35
to be enforced on August 31st 2025.I also rephrased
to
The original sentence suggests that if React Native targets the SDK 35, your app must target the SDK 35 no matter what. But even if React Native targets the SDK 35, you can always force your app to keep targeting the SDK 34 until August 31st 2025. Ultimately, you maintain control of this parameter until the deadline.
This is different than the
minSdkVersion
