Hello! This is the Galaxy Store Seller Portal.

Thank you for always using the Seller Portal and for your continued interest.

Galaxy Store and Seller Portal are always striving to provide the best app service in a stable user environment.

As security and performance improve with the release of new Android versions, we would like to inform you of the target API Level requirements for improvement of the user environment and provision of secure apps.

When newly registering or updating an Android app, if the requirements below are not met, the app can no longer be serviced in the Galaxy Store.

Please refer to the following requirements and future schedule to ensure that there are no difficulties in providing app services.

■ Target of application

- New registration or update of Android apps

■ Details and schedule

- The targetSdkVersion of the manifest specified in the APK must meet the following requirements.

- In the event that the targetSdkVersion is not specified, the minSdkVersion must meet the following requirements.

- If these requirements are not met at the time of newly registering or updating an app, the app cannot be registered.

- Apps that are already being sold are excluded from this, but we recommend updating to the latest targetSdkVersion for improvements   in security, privacy, and performance for a better user environment.

Application details Effective date Exceptions
When adding/updating a new app, the target API Level: Android 13 (API Level 33) or higher November 1, 2023 For apps that are China sales only, the existing Android 8.0 (API Level 26) will be maintained.
