Android 14 (API Level 34)

Solar2D Android
#21

Try only the target SDK Version:
@ jdsmedeirosbr

targetSdkVersion = “34”

settings = {
    orientation = {
        default = "portrait",
        supported = { "portrait", "portraitUpsideDown" }
    },
    android = {
        targetSdkVersion = "34",
        usesPermissions = {
            "android.permission.INTERNET",
        },
    },
}

understand.Then I would advise you to set up a native build process if you haven’t tried it yet. The build process works fine.

Try:

Then you can change it in the build.gradle file:

Do you use any Plugins?

#22

Yes please update Solar2D to utilize API level 34! This is much needed.

I’m not sure if it’s possible, but it would also super helpful to begin working on support for API level 35, so this doesn’t have to be a last minute change each time.

Thank you!

#23

Yes, I understand, someone would have to make an update in the Solar2D version:

@vlads or @Scott_Harrison …

#24

Will look into this

Any updates on this? hoping to get this as soon as possible as i recall last year crashes and anrs were an issue with updating the api 33 and would like to get some tests out before deadlines to make sure all is functioning as it should be.

#26

I just chatted with Vlad. He and Scott are continuing to work on the issue.

That’s a very helpful explanation. Thank you!
I guess I have to be patient and wait for Solar2d to be updated, but damn, I’m planning a vacation in August. Seems like a priority like this should be at the top of Solar2d’s list.
P.S. Don’t misinterpret! Not upset with you. Your explanation is really useful. Just nervous about Solar2d. :slight_smile:

#33

I am sure that everything will be ok because Vlads have commited two important modifications on the master branch yesterday.

So the fix will arrive in few days I imagine.

Situation is complicated :man_shrugging:

#38

Build 2024.3707 doesn’t address the API Level 34 issue. If you’re having trouble with that build, you should start a new thread or, even better, log it as an issue on GitHub.
