Does it even make sense to set the targetSdkVersion higher than the compiled
one?
Yeah, that can be fine, the targetSdkVersion basically denotes what (API)
version one tested the App against and signals Android that it doesn't need
to enable any backward compat handling as long as the Android (API) version
is equal or lower than the provided targetSdkVersion.
Such compat handling could e.g. be w.r.t. App permissions, if there are
newer more granular one, or the default set got reduced it might break older
apps, so that is only enabled if the app signals that it supports it,
naturally with some time window to not allow uploading an app (update) to
avoid that this can be misused.
The compileSdkVersion is the API the app is compiled against and thus
one can only actively use newer APIs if one increases this. Most of the time
one want's to have those two in sync, but it's fine if the targetSdkVersion
gets higher, it just cannot be lower than the compiled one.
sorry to continue this, but there is something I don't really understand here
(not that I want to say you're wrong, just wanting to understand)
how can my 'target sdk version' be higher than my 'compiled sdk version' ?
in that, how can i target sdks that are newer than the one i compile against?
wouldn't that mean that the old sdk (e.g. 35 in our case) must have
knowledge about the next version ?
e.g i found an article[0] about those versions (not sure how good or
representative it is)
that explicitely says:
---
If you made it through the bolded notes, you’ll notice a relationship between
the three values:
minSdkVersion <= targetSdkVersion <= compileSdkVersion
---
which would mean that my target version can't be higher than my compile
version...
that said, the app built successfully with these values, and I noticed no
problem
with either android 15 and 16 (in an emulator...)
