Is Android SDK Level 26 supported for use with Appcelerator Titanium?

The latest Appcelerator docs seems to indicate that the max supported version of the Android SDK is Level 26 for Android target version 8.x Oreo.

So I opened Android Studio and uninstalled all other Android SDK Levels per screenshot below, and installed 26:

Android Studio

However, now when I try to run my app on Android 8.0 (Oreo) emulator via Appcelerator Studio I get the following error:

[ERROR] : Unable to find a suitable installed Android SDK that is API >=23 and <=25

When I run appc info from the command line I get this message:

! Android API Android 8.0.0 (android-26) is too new and may or may not work with Titanium SDK 7.1.0. The maximum supported Android API level by Titanium SDK 7.1.0 is API level 25.

This seems to contradict the documentation. If Android SDK Level 26 is not supported, then is using Level 25 adequate for building apps that will run on Android 8.0 Oreo?

Here is tooling I have running:

Solution

  • It should be supported. I use Titanium SDK 7.1.0 GA with Android API 26 (8.0) and can compile correctly. Maybe you need to change your Android manifest inside the tiapp.xml:

    <android xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <manifest>
        <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="16" android:targetSdkVersion="26"/>
    </manifest>
</android>
