  2. How should a developer using bubblewrap fix this warning?

I'm not sure about this. I've rebuilt the app using the latest bubblewrap and it targetted 33. (I couldn't build on Windows because of the OutOfMemory issues, but it worked when I used Docker)

What you might be experiencing is that the Android SDK isn't up-to-date on your machine.

My trick is to go on the ".bubblewrap" folder (in your user home folder), delete the SDK and Java, and then bubblewrap will prompt to install the latest SDK and Java.
