Your app currently targets API level 28 and must target at least API level 29 to ensure it is built on the latest APIs optimized for security and performance. Change your app’s target API level to at least 29

Thunkable’s team is working on update to API level 29. It is tracked in another thread. Last told was that it is “within days” from getting it up.

Hey @sam_mo - as per my original post

We have done some internal testing and are ready now to do testing with a pre-selected group of users. If everything goes ok then we’ll be able to do a more general release, but if not we will need to do further work.

Have you reached out to PRO support in relation to this? We sent out an update in relation to this 6 hours ago.

If it’s suppose subscribers receive any information about this problem, I did not receive anything.

I join thunkable this mount just to create one app to Google Play Store and then I see this notice about API 29, I am waiting since.

I hope you can fix this quickly or let me join this group of test users.  
Thank you.

Hi friends,

We have a testing instance ready and it should be on production ([x.thunkable.com](http://x.thunkable.com)) very soon.

If you want to have an early access and help testing, please email [hello@thunkable.com](mailto:hello@thunkable.com) with the title **Android API 29 testing.**

Thanks,  
Wei
