Description
This is the successor to #5101 (and an annual series of previous issues linked there.) We should update our targetSdkVersion
to 33, meaning Android 13.
Based on past experience, Google will probably set a deadline for this of late 2023. It's been the first business day of November in each of the last few years.
The important steps for this upgrade are:
- Read about the potentially-breaking changes, and identify those that might affect us.
- Make a WIP change to
targetSdkVersion
. - Test the WIP change thoroughly, especially in the areas highlighted in step 1. Fix things as needed, and repeat.
We aren't aware of any blockers to this, so we can try doing it any time. It'd be nice to do it well before the deadline -- or at least to go far enough to learn about any unknown blockers. Last time around, we did it nearly a year in advance (in #5174), and that was great.
