Hello Solar2D team,

First of all, thank you for your continued work on Solar2D.

I have a question regarding Android API 36 (targetSdkVersion 36) support.

The client for my current project has requested that the app be built with targetSdkVersion 36 for Google Play.

At the moment, the latest public Solar2D release appears to support targetSdkVersion 35.

Do you have an estimated timeline for when Solar2D will support building with targetSdkVersion 36?

Even a rough estimate or confirmation that API 36 support is planned would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

If Android keeps to their schedule from previous years regarding mandatory API targeting, all Play Store submissions will need to target API 36 by August 31, 2026. Last year, there was a build updating to API 35 on June 6, so I expect the update to API 36 will be along soon.

Relax, you can tell your client that you can target 36… you can override targetSdkVersion using your gradle file.

Solar2D has certainly made its first moves.
