Hi,  
**You don’t want to create multiple posts** , the Thunkable team is working on it and you can upload apps until August 1.  
After August 1, you have to wait a few weeks for thunkable to increase api level.

> [@IMPORTANT / ACTION MAY BE REQUIRED - Thunkable and Android 8.0](http://community.thunkable.com/t/important-action-may-be-required-thunkable-and-android-8-0/37927):
>
> Update (Aug 3rd): Hey Thunkers, As of Aug 1, 2018, Google is requiring all new apps published to the Play Store to be [compatible with Android 8.0](https://developer.android.com/about/versions/oreo/android-8.0-migration) (aka API 26). Due to unforeseen circumstances, we will likely miss this deadline by up to a few weeks. If you are planning to publish a new app to the Play Store in the next few weeks, we highly recommend that you publish a version before Aug 1, as existing apps do not need to be compatible with Android 8.0 till Nov 1, 2018. We deeply apologize …
