Finds the targetSdk, NDK, Gradle plugin and Xcode versions in your repo that Google Play and App Store Connect already refuse, with the date each one stopped being accepted.
Google Play's extension window for the API 36 requirement closes 2026-11-01; freelance market rates put a senior Android developer near $128 an hour.
Buy the full version — $29It reads the build file you have open and flags every version Google Play or App Store Connect already refuses. Each finding gives the line number, the date the store stopped accepting it, and the version to move to. Sixteen rules cover targetSdk, compileSdk, build tools, NDK, the Android Gradle Plugin, React Native, Expo and the Xcode your CI selects.
React Native, Expo, Flutter and Capacitor teams who ship to Google Play and the App Store from VS Code. It is aimed at whoever owns the release train on the day Play Console rejects a bundle - usually the mobile lead or the engineer who maintains the CI workflow rather than a dedicated release manager.
Because the answer changes every August and the model answers with the number it was trained on. Ask today and you will often get 34 or 35, the level Play rejected on 31 August 2026. Play Console does tell you the truth, but only after you build and upload a bundle, which is the most expensive place to find out.
Checking the file you have open is free and complete: all sixteen rules run, every finding shows its date and its fix, and nothing is hidden, watermarked or time-limited. The licence covers a different job - scanning every build file in the repository, re-checking on save, failing a CI build, and exporting a dated report.
The extension is 29 US dollars once. The alternative is a release blocked at upload, which costs the release window plus the upgrade you had to do anyway, done under pressure. Freelance market rates put a senior Android developer near 128 dollars an hour.
