Google Play shows wrong minSdkVersion for Android app

I added android:minSdkVersion="14 to the manifest of my Android app to only allow Android 4+ devices but Google Play shows that my app Requires Android 1.6 and up. Is there anything wrong with my manifest?

<android>
   <manifestAdditions>
      <![CDATA[
        <manifest android:installLocation="auto">
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="14" android:targetSdkVersion="21" />   
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
<uses-permission android:name="com.android.vending.BILLING" />
</manifest>]]>
    </manifestAdditions>
  </android>

I used the Adobe AIR SDK 17 and packaged the app through ADT (command line).

Solution

  • It's a bug on Google Play! (it affects Beta and Alpha apps - I guess your app is in that state?) Check your APK details in the Developer Console for the API level - as long as it's correct your set. It should show the correct API level as soon as you publish the app to production.
