Nope. > [@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 … ---

Hi @Root_Android_and_Eth, sorry to hear that you are affected by this. I’ve updated my original post at the top of this thread with the current ETA for this. (Thanks @Valaki_52 for linking to it too!) > [@Root\_Android\_and\_Eth](#): > > I just bought play console account today morning Great to hear you’re getting serious about Android development, thankfully this is a lifetime membership and you should be able to get your app online in the next few days. Don’t forget to promote your app in #SuccessfullyTHUNKd when your Play Store listing goes live. Thanks! ---

It was updated yesterday: > [@Thunkable Classic (app.thunkable.com) and Android 8 / API 26 / SDK 26](http://community.thunkable.com/t/thunkable-classic-app-thunkable-com-and-android-8-api-26-sdk-26/39100): > > Hey friends, We just rolled out a new release which has the Android apps to target at API level 26 (Android 8.0). In order to support API level 26, we had to make changes to some of our components and add support libraries. These updates are still pretty new and we are expecting bugs, especially if your app is using any third-party extension. We are planning to fix bugs as soon as we find them. Thank you for staying with us during this transition period. Best, Thunkable Team August 7 2018… ---
