I am developing a Sencha ExtJS application which have Android app version. I faced the problem to have to support Google Play target API level 33. Now the Cordova CLI is v10, Cordova-android platform is version 9, and the targetSdkVersion is 31. Can i only change targetSdkVersion, or have to update Cordova, Cordova-android platform to v11 or v12? In that case wouldn't I have to change the version of Cordova or Node.js as well? I would be grateful if someone could share what the versions of the whole stack are - node.js, cordova, cordova-android, gradle, etc. Тhanks in advance :)

According to cordova official documentations and recent blog post to target Android API-Level 33 cordova-android version 12 is required and Node minimum version is 16.13.0.

Complete minimim requirements to target Android API-Level 33 are:

  • cordova: 12.0.0
  • cordova-android: 12.0.x
  • Nodejs: 16.13.0
  • Build Tools: ^33.0.2
  • Kotlin: 1.7.21
  • Gradle: 7.6
  • Android Gradle Plugin: 7.4.2
  • AndroidX Compat Library: 1.6.1
  • AndroidX WebKit Library: 1.6.0
  • AndroidX Core SplashScreen: 1.0.0

  • Note: i'm testing upgrading my app with 33 targetSdkVersion (cordova 11, cordova-android 11) and the build still seems to work. – ivanolarocca Aug 21 '23 at 13:32

Even though Cordova's official requirement for the targetSdkVersion: 33 (Android API-Level) is cordova-android Version: 12.0.x,

I was able to upgrade the targetSdkVersion and compileSdkVersion from 31 to 33 without any issues. My Cordova CLI is v10.1 and the Cordova-android platform is version 9.1.0.

I tested my application and it works really well. I pushed the update to the Play Store as well.

Thank You.

    Thank you for your reply. The situation is exactly the same to me, Cordova CLI is v10, and the cordova-android is 9.1.0, the app builds correctly. Fingers crossed that it works properly and passes this Google Play check for target API level 33 – Dobrin Dobrev Aug 24 '23 at 13:09
  • I am updating Android Studio for everything for API Level 33. I am running `Cordova CLI 11.1.0` and `cordova-android 11.0` - hoping just changing the `config.xml` `targetSdkVersion` and `compileSdkVersion` from current 32 to new 33 without any issue. Above responses are encouraging. I will report back with results. Not ready for the mental gynmastics required to upgrade to `Cordova 12.0` – rolinger Aug 29 '23 at 14:12
  • In my Cordova app, both `compile` and `target` were set to 32, with `'minimum` set to 22. I changed the `targetSdkVersion` to 33 and recompiled the app. During the compile I get a warning from the Cordova CLI: `The "android-compileSdkVersion" (32) should be greater than or equal to the "android-targetSdkVersion" (33).` That being said, the app compiled fine and launched without issue. So far, all is good. – rolinger Aug 29 '23 at 14:57
