Is it possible to generate an AppSheet branded Android APK/AAB that supports Android 8.0 (API 26) and newer versions?
Our branded app is used by many employees with different Android devices, and the current build does not install on some older Android versions.
If Android 8 is not supported, what is the lowest Android version/minSdkVersion currently supported for AppSheet branded apps?
Thank you.
Hello @AHMET1,
AppSheet officially recommends Android 9.0 or higher for the best experience, devices running Android 8.0 can actually still run your branded apps without issue.
Now, I found that Google PlayStore’s policies strictly require app bundles to target modern API levels (such as API 35/36).
If you are seeing an ‘outdated SDK’ warning in your Play Console, you’ll simply need to request an updated branding build directly from AppSheet. They will re-compile your app bundle against the newest required target SDK so you can successfully publish your update.

I hope this helps!
AThank you for your response.
