Izimfuneko zethagethi yeleveli ye-API yama-app we-Google Play

Ukusiza ukwenza umnqamulajuqu weleveli Yethagethi ye-API ucace, sihlanganisa izinsuku ezifika kumhla ka-31 Agasti minyaka yonke.

Ukusuka ngomhla ka-31 Agasti 2023:

• Ama-app amasha kufanele aqondise i-Android 13 (API ileveli 33) noma ngaphezulu; ngaphandle kwama-app e-Wear OS, okumele aqondise i-Android 11 (i-API ileveli 30) noma ukufika ku-Android 13 (i-API enguleveli 33).
• Ama-app akhona kufanele aqondise ileveli 31 ye-API noma ngaphezulu ukuze ahlale atholakala kubasebenzisi kumadivayisi asebenzisa i-Android OS ephakeme kuneleveli yethagethi ye-API ye-app. Ama-app anethagethi yeleveli ye-API 30 noma ngaphansi (ithagethi yeleveli ye-API 29 noma ngaphansi ku-Wear OS), azotholakala kuphela kumadivayisi asebenzisa i-Android OS anethagethi efanayo noma engaphansi kweleveli ye-API yama-app akho.

Uzokwazi ukucela isandiso kuze kube nguNovemba 1, 2023, uma udinga isikhathi esengeziwe sokubuyekeza i-app yakho. Uzokwazi ukufinyelela amafomu esandiso se-app yakho ku-Play Console ngasekuqaleni kuka-August uma uthintekile, ekhasini elithi Isimo senqubomgomo ngokuchofoza esixwayisweni noma enkingeni ehambisanayo.

Lonke uhlobo olusha lwe-Android lwethula izinguquko ezithuthukisa umuzwa womsebenzisi, ukuvikeleka, nokusebenza kwenkundla ye-Android isiyonke. I-App ngayinye icacisa i-targetSdkVersion (eyaziwa nangokuthi yileveli yethagethi ye-API) kufayela le-manifest. Ileveli yethagethi ye-API ibonisa indlela i-app yakho ehloselwe ukusebenza ngayo ezinhlotsheni ezihlukahlukene ze-Android.

Ukulungiselela i-app yakho ukuthi ithagethe ileveli ye-API yakamuva kuqinisekisa ukuthi abasebenzisi bayazuza ekuvikelekeni, ubumfihlo, nokuthuthukisa ukusebenza, kuyilapho kuvumela i-app yakho ukuthi isebenze ezinhlotsheni ezindala ze-Android (kwehle kuze kufike ku-minSdkVersion).

Ukuze inikeze abasebenzisi be-Android ne-Google Play umuzwa ophephile, i-Google Play idinga wonke ama-app ukuthi ahlangabezane nezimfuneko zeleveli yethagethi ye-API ezibalwe ngezansi.

Okuhlukile kwalezi zimfuneko kuhlanganisa okulandelayo:

• Ama-app agodliwe unomphela akhawulelwe kubasebenzisi enhlanganweni ethile futhi ahloselwe ukusatshalaliswa kwangaphakathi. 
• Ama-app athagetha isakhi sefomu esizenzekelayo futhi ahlanganiswa kuphakheji efanayo azohlala etholakala kubo bonke abasebenzisi be-Google Play.

Imibuzo evame ukubuzwa

Mayelana nama-app ethagethi ye-API 30 noma ngezansi

Ngine-app ebukhoma ku-Google Play yethagethi ye-API 30 noma ngaphansi (ku-Wear OS, ithagethi ye-app ye-API 29 noma ngaphansi), engingahleli ukuyibuyekeza. Yikuphi engingakhetha kukho?

Uma ufuna ukuqhubeka nokusebenzisa le app kubasebenzisi abakhona, akudingeki wenze lutho. Nokho, i-app yakho ngeke itholakale ku-Google Play kubasebenzisi abasha kumadivayisi asebenzisa i-Android OS entsha kunalokho okuhloswe yi-app yakho. Izotholakala kuphela kubasebenzisi be-Google Play abanamadivayisi asebenzisa i-Android OS eneleveli ye-API ye-app yakho noma ngaphansi.

Ngomhla ka-1 Agasti 2023, i-app yakho kufanele ihlangabezane nale mfuneko yeleveli ye-API eqondisiwe, uma kungenjalo izoyeka ukutholakala kubo bonke abasebenzisi be-Google Play amadivayisi wabo asebenzisa izinhlobo ze-Android OS ezintsha kuneleveli ye-API eqondiwe ye-app yakho.

Uma uhlela ukubuyekeza i-app yakho ku-API entsha eqondiwe futhi udinga isikhathi esengeziwe ngemva kwangomhla ka-31 Agasti, ungase ucele isandiso ukuze uqhubeke usabalalisa kubo bonke abasebenzisi be-Google Play kuze kube umhla ka-1 Novemba. Ifomu lesandiso lizotholakala kamuva kulo nyaka ku-Play Console.

Uma ufuna ukuyeka ukuhlinzeka i-app yakho kubasebenzisi abasha ngisho nakumadivayisi amadala, ungasusa ukushicilelwa kwe-app yakho.

Ngingalithola kuphi ifomu lesandiso ukuze ngiqhubeke ngisabalalisa kubo bonke abasebenzisi be-Google Play kuze kube nguNovemba 1, 2023?

Ama-apps angahambisani nenqubomgomo yiwo kuphela azothola izixwayiso zenqubomgomo nemiyalezo yebhokisi lokungenayo ku-Play Console. Ifomu lesandiso liyatholakala ekhasini lemininingwane lesixwayiso noma inkinga, elitholakala ekhasini elithi Isimo senqubomgomo ku-Play Console.

Nginama-app engingasafuni ashicilelwe ku-Google Play. Ngingenzani mina?

Ukuze uthole iziqondiso zendlela yokususa ukushicilelwa kwe-app yakho, bheka okuthi Buyekeza noma ususe ukushicilelwa kwe-app yakho.

Bazothinteka kanjani abasebenzisi bami asebevele beyidawunilodile i-app yami ngaphambilini?

Abasebenzisi asebeke bayifaka ngaphambilini i-app ku-Google Play ngeke bathinteke futhi basazokwazi ukuthola, ukufaka kabusha, nokusebenzisa i-app kunoma yiluphi uhlobo lwe-Android OS olusekelwa yi-app yakho.

Ingabe lesi sibuyekezo sizokuthinta ukudawunilodwa kwama-app?

Singase sibe nomthelela kumaleveli okudawuniloda i-app yakho uma abasebenzisi abakumadivayisi anohlobo olusha lwe-Android OS bengakwazi ukuthola noma ukudawuniloda i-app yakho ku-Google Play.

Ukusebenziseka kuzoba njani uma umsebenzisi kudivayisi entsha evakashela ilinki yokudluliselwa ekhasini le-app store, kodwa i-app inethagethi ye-API 30 noma ngaphansi?

I-Google Play izotshela umsebenzisi ukuthi "le-app ayitholakali ukuba ifakwe kudivayisi yakhe ngoba yenzelwe uhlobo oludala lwe-Android."

Ingabe kukhona okuhlukile kwama-app akhona kakade athagetha i-API 30 noma ngaphansi?

Yebo. Sihlinzeka ngokuhlukile kwama-app agodliwe unomphela akhawulelwe kubasebenzisi benhlangano ethile futhi ahloselwe ukuthi asakazwe ngaphakathi kuphela nama-app athagetha isakhi sefomu se-Android Automotive OS nawo awahlanganisiwe.
