Any solution yet?
Google Playstore requirements is Android 10 and most app feature wont work if I package using target sdk 29, 30 or 31.

same issue… 4.26.2

Hello, i managed to fix this issue for 4.26.2

This is what i did.

  1. Uninstall SDK 31 from android studio 4.0
  2. Make sure you have 29.0.2 SDK version under “android SDK Build-Tools 31” in android studios
    (Check the box “show package details” if youre not seeing any other than build tools 31)
  3. Now manage to your project settings, under platforms - android SDK, make sure that your SDK API Level is set to “android-29”
  4. Go to platforms - android then change “target SDK Version” to 29.

I’ve also removed the android:requestLegacyExternalStorage=“true”, since this did nothing.

In my case,
UE 4.27.0
Device: Piexl 3 (Android 11)

refer to: Android 11 中的存储机制更新  |  Android 开发者  |  Android Developers

  1. set “target sdk version” to 29
  2. add attributes {android:requestLegacyExternalStorage=“true”} to node in AndroidManifest.xml

then it work good

Have you tried uploading to the store using this solution? I am trying to get a new app up there, and it is saying I am required to target SDK 30, which (after a bit of digging) negates your solution unfortunately (see the caution bubble Android storage use cases and best practices  |  Android Developers)

Any solution to this which does not involve targeting SDK 29? New app uploads to the Play Store require the app to target SDK 30…
