# Bug Report ## Problem ### What is expected to happen? - Google Play Console recognizes apps built via `<preference name="android-targetSdkVersion" value="34" />` as target SDK 34 (Android 14) ### What does actually happen? - Google Play Console recognizes my app which includes `<preference name="android-targetSdkVersion" value="34" />` within the config.xml as target SDK 33 instead of 34. I've build version 18.26.0 today, see full config.xml and build log below.  - I already saw the same problem in my older release 18.25.4 from a week ago, too, which already included the same config.xml: [image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/d3dac490-430d-46ac-bc88-d4c7b5ecbad0) - so it is not a thing which just goes away after waiting a few days. - The problem I have is that I need to use SDK 34 starting 31. August 2024 to publish any app updates, see https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/11926878 ## Information - config.xml: [config.xml.txt](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/16456693/config.xml.txt) - I hope my `minSdkVersion` is not set too low? ``` <preference name="android-minSdkVersion" value="22" /> <preference name="android-targetSdkVersion" value="34" /> ``` - I've checked https://github.com/apache/cordova-android/issues/1178 and am not sure what else I can do. I also do `cordova platform remove android` before doing `cordova platform add android@13.0.0` in my build script. Full build script see below - according to my Cordova build log, SDK 34 is used apparently: > Using cordova-fetch for cordova-android@13.0.0 > Adding android project... > Creating Cordova project for the Android platform: > Path: platforms/android > Package: de.yyy.XXX.myapp > Name: my-app > Activity: MainActivity > Android Target SDK: android-34 > Android Compile SDK: 34 > Subproject Path: CordovaLib > Subproject Path: app > Android project created with cordova-android@13.0.0 - see full build log, resulting from cordova build script (see below): [buildlog.native.release.20240801-142136.log](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/16457005/buildlog.native.release.20240801-142136.log) ### Command or Code - cordova build script: [cordova-buildscript.txt](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/16456747/cordova-buildscript.txt) - full log see above ### Environment, Platform, Device - building on Mac mini 2018, macOS Sonoma 14.1.2, see [image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/16860df7-f842-4ba8-b442-dc054164fc16) ### Version information - Cordova CLI: > cordova --version > 12.0.0 (cordova-lib@12.0.1) - Platform: `cordova platform add android@13.0.0` - Plugins: see config.xml above - Operating System: see above - Android Studio: Android Studio Dolphin, 2021.3.1 Patch 1, see [image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/49f9c19e-c89b-48e1-af25-3a25a7ced2f5). My Android SDK settings within Android Studio: see [image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/bbda8697-eacb-47ec-9c35-e053c7f3004e) and [image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/974acf1a-f7ef-434f-908c-7adb47a2371f) - Xcode: 15.2 (15C500b), see [image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/ae8c3c29-da49-4192-9f93-399393eff356) ## Checklist - [x] I searched for existing GitHub issues - [x] I updated all Cordova tooling to most recent version - [x] I included all the necessary information above ## Hints - in file `platforms\android\app\build\outputs\logs\manifest-merger-debug-report.txt` I can see this: ``` MERGED from [com.huawei.hms:ucs-common:1.0.3.323] /Users/xx/.gradle/caches/transforms-4/fca4ef79003ed3d48602d89c9c27e186/transformed/jetified-ucs-common-1.0.3.323/AndroidManifest.xml:5:5-7:41 tools:overrideLibrary ADDED from [com.huawei.hms:device:6.5.0.300] /Users/xx/.gradle/caches/transforms-4/0b74e76dedf911529828956725343c5f/transformed/jetified-device-6.5.0.300/AndroidManifest.xml:9:9-58 android:targetSdkVersion INJECTED from /Users/xx/Desktop/cordova/myapp.native.20240801-154436/platforms/android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml android:minSdkVersion INJECTED from /Users/xx/Desktop/cordova/myapp.native.20240801-154436/platforms/android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml uses-permission#android.permission.WAKE_LOCK ADDED from [com.transistorsoft:tslocationmanager:3.5.4] /Users/xx/.gradle/caches/transforms-4/d18416e1d05ee88a7c27b8d8f1508082/transformed/jetified-tslocationmanager-3.5.4/AndroidManifest.xml:7:5-68 ``` - in `platforms\android\CordovaLib\build\outputs\logs\manifest-merger-debug-report.txt` I see something similar: [manifest-merger-blame-debug-report.txt](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/16457746/manifest-merger-blame-debug-report.txt) - but in `platforms\android\app\src\main\AndroidManifest.xml` I cannot find any `targetSdkVersion`, see [AndroidManifext.xml.txt](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/16457701/AndroidManifext.xml.txt) - strangely in `platforms\android\app\build\intermediates\merged_manifest\debug\processDebugMainManifest\AndroidManifest.xml` it looks like something was overriding or "injecting" another targetSdkVersion, and therefore I get a 33 instead of 34 here (see [processDebugMainManifest_AndroidManifest.xml.txt](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/16457852/processDebugMainManifest_AndroidManifest.xml.txt)): ``` android:versionCode="1182600" android:versionName="18.26.0" > <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="22" android:targetSdkVersion="33" /> ``` -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
