Starting June 30, 2023, all new Meta Quest app submissions are required to target Android 12L (API level 32). Note: This means targetSdkVersion must be API level 32, though minSdkVersion will not be impacted and can still use API level 29 for Quest 1 compatibility. With this change, we’re taking advantage of security fixes associated with the newer API. This requirement further improves the security and health of the VR ecosystem.
What you can expect:
- Existing apps using a lower version will continue to work, and minSdkVersion can be set to API level 29 for Quest 1 compatibility, but any new submissions will need the minimum required targetSdkVersion API level starting June 30, 2023.
- You may receive security warnings in the test results page for apps submitted with less than targetSdkVersion API level 32 starting March 24, 2023
- API level 32 will be enforced during binary upload, meaning you will not be able to upload any new binaries with a lower targetSdkVersion level after June 30, 2023
- targetSDK as Android 12L will be enforced to facilitate compatibility in future OS upgrades starting June 30 2023
