Remove Max SDK version for Android

For some reason Tiggzi sets the Max SDK version for Android apps. Currently the max SDK in Tiggzi is 4.1.1 which means you can't find the apps on devices with 4.2.

Declaring this attribute is not recommended according to the Android dev guide: http://developer.android.com/guide/to...

Now you have to import the sources in Eclipse, remove the attribute and compile. A unnecessary hassle.

Remove Max SDK version for Android

Hi Ari,

Max version was always exist. Version 4.2 was added to dropdown list (http://developer.android.com/guide/to...)
"Future versions of Android (beyond Android 2.0.1) will no longer check or enforce the maxSdkVersion attribute during installation or re-validation. Google Play will continue to use the attribute as a filter, however, when presenting users with applications available for download."

So don't worry about it. It influences only on who can see your app in Play Market.

As soon as Android 4.3 is released you'll be able to select this option in Tiggzi, build new APK and publish it.

"So don't worry about it. It influences only on who can see your app in Play Market. "

That's a HUGE concern -- so once a new version of android is released my software cannot be found!

I cannot find my own app because I have 4.2 and for some reason the MaxSDK was default to 2.0 in Tiggzi. How can we remove the MaxSDK attribute?

Remove Max SDK version for Android

Hello! For now the only one way is to import the source code, remove the attribute and compile. We are going to remove Max SDK version from project settings.
