Old version Google Play developer API

[Lakaroth]

Hi there, uploading a new APP on the play store i got this notification: I have build a signed AAB file instead the .APK because i got an error uploading the APK so i need to use App Bundle. How to update your client to API version 3? Migration guide here looks like arabic for me.

Here an email from google Google Play Developer Support

We checked into the alert you are seeing: "We’ve detected that your app is using an old version of the Google Play Developer API. From December 1 2019, versions 1 and 2 of this API will no longer be available. Update to version 3 before this date." in the Play Console regarding the API. Please note we have confirmed that these alerts are being sent out to developers who are either using an old version of the API or have a third party plugin using an old version of the API. If your app does have a API associated, please make sure to update it before the deadline; you can follow the steps here: https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2019/03/changes-to-google-play-developer-api.html

If you are using a third party plugin, please try updating the plugin to fix this issue. We do apologize again for any inconvenience this may cause and hope this information helps. Please note we do place a high value on developer feedback, and I’ll be sure to pass along your specific feedback to our product team.

Can you fix it? Thank you!

Google Play Developer API is not used by the base mv-android-client. Are you using an older version with the Google Play extension or have you modified it?

If you are on this branch: https://github.com/AltimitSystems/mv-android-client/tree/93ca67335cffaaa7d8af7bef0f377a3b8efb0d8a then you may need the help of @tehguy who handled the Google Play API extension

Thank you for your answer, i don't have modify nothing just add in manifest file `

` I have 3 apps created by the same client and i have just receive 3 notify so i think something change on google i'm not skilled enough, i just follow the tutorial to create app's. Here a screen of my root maybe you can see if is something wrong or if you prefer i can upload the project without game file somewhere.  Also, i have try to open a blank project downloaded now and i got an error, maybe my problem is related to an older android version? Or are two different error?  Thank you

Update Android Studio with: Help -> Check for Updates...

[Lakaroth]

I have done it right now, if i did'nt before is just because i was scared to do something wrong because i have no control of code and i feel lost to do something, you know i think like "Untill it works i don't update" So you think the mistake it was because an older version of android studio? I mean that API?

It'd be nice if it tosses the error in Android Studio, so I'd try building it there after updating to see if it does; if it doesn't, then I'll have to take the safe route and just to what the migration guide tells me to do. Also turns out appcompat has been replaced by some androidx dealio, so I've got that to work on as well.

Either way, won't be able to look too hard into it right now as I'm about to head off to work so it'll be a few hours before I can really dig into it

[JTM-rootstorm]

Dug around and, as with the mv-client, I'm also not making use of any Developer API stuff. None of my test apps up on the Play Store have caused me to get that email either despite pretty much using the same GPlay code.

Make sure the gplay dependencies (namely play-services and play-auth) in my stuff's build.gradle are up to date with the versions listed here: https://developers.google.com/android/guides/setup
