Right now, the maximum is Target API Level 30, but is there Target API Level 31?

    Is Target API Level 30 currently available, is this the maximum at the moment, or is there Target API Level 31 ?
    I just saw the Android 12 SDK Build-Tools 31, and wondered if it was possible to connect it to Unity?
    Maybe I got something wrong.

    Just keep the target in 30
    "When you upload an app bundle or APK, it needs to meet Google Play’s target API level requirements. By August 2021, new apps must target at least Android 11 (API level 30). By November 2021, all apps that are being updated must target at least Android 11 (API level 30)."

    Is there any estimation about when API Level 31 will be available in Unity?

    How was it handled in the past? Was there a large delay between an Android-Release and Unity supporting it?

    I usually install newer sdk with android studio and building with Unity works quite good using these newer apis.
    However, api 31 does require Java 11. But Unity needs 1.8 atm. Checked with 2019.4.16 (Could have changed).
    Building against 31 fails due to the java version

    In general once the non release candidate API version is released, Unity editor should automatically pick it up and should allow to target it.

    SDK consists of multiple components - build-tools, platform-tools, platforms (this is the API level). I don't know if API 31 requires Java 11 or not, but there is a possibility that it is only a new version of build-tools that requires Java 11, while API 31 might not have a strict dependency on the new build-tools version. There is a possibility that projects will be able to target API 31 without using Java 11, but this needs to be tested to know for sure.

    Hi any update about building for API 31? I still can't build with that API level. I am getting an error everytime i tried to build even on a fresh empty project.

    Same here, any updates on whether we can build for API 31? I'm using Unity 2020.3.18f.

    If you get errors building for API level 31, please paste them here. There are issues with build-tools version 31, but they should not prevent apps from targeting API level 31.

    Ah, so the issue is not about building, but about installing. This is a known issue and it is being fixed https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/is...-android-application-with-target-api-level-31 meanwhile you can workaround it by enabling the custom main manifest in player settings and then adding android:exported="true" attribute to the main activity.

    Could you submit a bug report? This doesn't seem to happen with the simple project, so there are some specific steps required to reproduce the issue.

    @JuliusM we use Unity Editor 2021.1.28f to build project
    And when we try to install our apk targeting API 31 to Pixel3a mobile phone we still get the manifest error:

    adb: failed to install Test.apk: Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_MANIFEST_MALFORMED: Failed parse during installPackageLI: /data/app/vmdl1734724982.tmp/base.apk (at Binary XML file line #219): com.unity.androidnotifications.UnityNotificationRestartOnBootReceiver: Targeting S+ (version 31 and above) requires that an explicit value for android:exported be defined when intent filters are present]


    What can we do to fix that error?

    Can you try this and let me know if it works for you - until they update the package?
