App must target Android 14 (API level 34) or higher
Details
To provide users with a safe and secure experience, Google Play requires all apps to meet target API level requirements.
From Aug 31, 2024, if your target API level is not within 1 year of the latest Android release, you won't be able to update your app.

How to fix
Your highest non-compliant target API level is Android 13 (API level 33).

To ensure that you can continue to make updates to your app you must:

Update your app to target Android 14 (API level 34) or higher.
Publish a new version of your app to production. Before you do this, you can test your app using internal, closed, or open testing.
Once you've done this, we'll send you an Inbox message to confirm that your app update was successful, and that your app is no longer affected.
