Expo had updated their SDK: effective Aug 5th, what about Thunkable please? # STATUS UPDATE - **This change has been deployed to SDK38 Android builders on August 5th, 14:38 UTC.** - Android apps built **after that moment** in time will have the **`targetSdkVersion` set to 29**. - Apps built **before that moment** will **remain on `targetSdkVersion = 28`**. - You **will need to rebuild your app** after that moment for your AAB/APK to include this change. - **If you’re using `turtle-cli`** to build your standalone apps, to have this change included in your build, please upgrade to version equal or higher than `0.17.1` . ---

@lucky.balboa - thanks for reaching out, have you been in contact with PRO support? * * * @mattia.guariglia … yes? You just tagged me without asking a question or providing any context. Is there something in particular you’d like help with? * * * > [@sam\_mo](#): > > this issue which is solved globally. @sam_mo this is not solved “globally”, it is currently only working for expo user who are availing of the expo build servers. We have our own build servers so we’re in the same boat as you. Until Expo complete their update we’re in a holding pattern. Thanks for your last 5 messages, but it’s important to understand that continually posting here will not get this update done any faster. Can you please give us some more context as to your own background please? - What sort of apps are you trying to publish? - Do you have any apps published already? Thanks. ---

@petrondraczwj2 welcome to the community 👋 No, Classic stopped receiving updates in 2019 - thanks for asking, I’ve updated the FAQs now to reflect this too. Do you have an app in the Play Store that was originally created with Classic? ---

Hello @domhnallohanlon and fellow thunkers Thanks for all the help as you have probably been busy! I have an app which I made with thunkable and I already have a few apps on the play store but different apks and stuff! Is there any way I can update one them with my new app I made from thunkable! Not to bug you or anything but is there a update on the api 29 as I believe it has been two weeks from your post! Thanks in advance! ---

Hi @blast24blast46ydf > [@blast24blast46ydf](#): > > Is there any way I can update one them with my new app I made from thunkable! If you’re updating an existing app then there’s no issue with this, the API 29 requirement is only for new apps that are being published to the store for the first time. > [@blast24blast46ydf](#): > > is there a update on the api 29 as I believe it has been two weeks from your post! We’re hoping to test an update ourselves later next week with a view to being able to release it around the 21st or 24th, but again, that “release date” is completely dependent on the testing being successful. If there are any issues discovered during testing then the full public release will necessarily have to be pushed back. Hope that makes sense. ---

Are you updating some of these old apps or are you trying to upload a new app? We stopped working on Classic in 2019 and have been messaging users, both here and by email, about this for well over a year…just wanted to confirm that you were aware of this? ---

Hi @wei Thanks for the update. Can you be more specific in terms of days please? Alike many in this topic we are paid users so an official communication should be arranged when it comes to major updates taking 1 month. Thank you for your understanding.
