Blocker Due to Outdated com.android.core Library

[vikaspatil92]

Satismeter currently uses an outdated version of the com.android.core library, which is incompatible with the latest Android release policies. This is preventing us from releasing our app.

Request:

Please provide an updated version of the com.android.core library to resolve this issue.

Same here, please provide an updated version as it blocks our app release with Satismeter integration.

@vikaspatil92 @tarunatsortly We're studying how to do the upgrade. Our current capacity to work on this SDK is limited.

Could you provide me with a link to the mentioned Release policy? Also, did you receive any notification from Google Play stating the consequences of keeping SatisMeter SDK? Could you forward it to me?

@E-Mud Here's the error that surfaces when you upload the app to Play Store - with SatisMeter 1.5.2.

Update your com.google.android.play:core:1.10.0 Maven dependency to an Android 14 compatible version! Your current com.google.android.play:core:1.10.0 library is incompatible with targetSdkVersion 34 (Android 14), which introduces a backwards-incompatible change to broadcast receivers. As a reminder, from 31 August 2024, Google Play requires all new app releases to target Android 14. Update to the latest library version dependency to avoid app crashes.

After removing SatisMeter from the dependencies, the app got approved in Play Store.
